On the one hand, I loved the introduction, the concept, the writing, the creepy/icky insectness of it all.
On the other hand, I suffered the usual parser friction of guess-the-word, without any really clever solutions that made it feel worth the effort of having to do so. The game has pleasant hinting, but that just underlines the fact that there’s a lot of guesswork in pulling the right verb from the sumptuous text. I wonder if it wouldn’t have been better just as kinetic fiction?
