Bugs and other notes: (I am writing these same time I am playing)
I think it was the trainstation, where it constantly happened that when there was full screen amount of text, when I pressed enter, it made the text scroll up (and showing down arrow at bottom) when pressin enter again, it would then scroll to the bottom of the text.
Meaning that advancing text forward I had to press enter twice, and it was annoyingly jumping due to jumping up and down due to that.
Doesnt recognise "ENTER" had to use "GO". I was specifically using "ENTER IN" since that seemed most natural as it showd directions I can GO to, and mentioned INN being there in the description.
When I talked to Bartenfder in the Inn, there is slight misspelling, he starts the sentence "As,". I suppose he is supposed to Say "Ah,".
Heard footsteps, tried "HEAR" and "LISTEN", didnt recognise.
Briefly saw an old man disappear to east, used "FOLLOW MAN" didnt understand.
I am not sure if I am encountering bugs, or if it is part of the plot. Going backroom, opening toilet, after that continuing NORTH, then coming back SOUTH again, then I tried to go EAST, and it seemed the place didnt change, but it kept saying I was in the back most room or something like that, even I changed the location again couple of times. However, it did tell about stuff that was in the room, even rooms description stayed same, so Finally typewriter, read the letter, looked behind, woke up in bed.
Then I went downstairs, and it didnt tell the barkeeper was there, but using "TALK BARKEEPER" however did work.
"you see pump, lederly lady" (I assume meant to be "elderly")
I look unmarked grave, I take crowbar, I use "LOOK" then "LOOK GRAVE" again, and it again sees the crowbar inside the grave, on top of that, Crowbar has dispappeared from my inventory. But I can take it again from the grave. Endless loop.
I went from umarked grave to WEST, there was this Lady selling buns or something, and there were Wall and Plaquest, I went again to the WEST; and got NO DESCRIPTION of the place, nor where to go. Just completely empty screen, except for the character telling I can type. I typed "WEST" (I think) and I ended up to the forest with the injured elrerly man with religious cloak.
Hittin Father in the forest was bit confusing. I started by punching him in the Gut, since I figured that would be the right way.
After that you didnt get to pick a next number, but instead you had to use "Talk Man" again, making it confusing.
On top of that, he says "Hit me harder" So I figured I took a wrong option, and went through other options, where he keeps saying more to right, or most confusing, when I kick him into chin, he says "Higher", after which I chose Slap Face, and it took me a while before I tried Punch Gut again, at which point it said "again", and I did, then it said again "Harder", which I by then figured out it probably means that Punching again to Gut, will make it automatically punch harder.
Was unnecessarily stuck in this place for a while, due to unclarity.
Conversation with Father after punching "Jospehine:... ...help me find asomeone here", I assume you meant either simply "someone" or "a someone".
You are at the Forest, Voice: Ha ha, it shows exits as EAST and SOUTH. However: SOUTH = "Cant go sotuh", EAST = "that sound is coming deeper from the forest, I ought to check it".
Go FOREST, GO VOICE, GO DEEPER, none work.
LOCATE VOICE (didnt recognise the verb)
I use WEST (Which is not mentioned) get deeper into forest. It shows me NORTH and voice coming, doesnt mention else. I use NORTH = Cant go north. I try EAST and it finally mentions that voice is coming from a hole.
I try to LOOK HOLE, GO HOLE, TALK HOLE, etc. nothing seems to work. I am stuck in this location. There is probably error in the description, and while it mentions the HOLE when trying to go to EAST, it dont seem to react anything HOLE related, except for "SHIT HOLE" which it just says "thats rude".
I save and quit.
Generally speaking. I like the writing in sense that it is good writing. I also like that this seems to be guiding player quite well on situations. It keeps things (parser) simple, like when talk to barkeeper, you get to choose from number options. Sometimes it also continues the conversation in mode where you only need to keep pushing next number, which I also liked. This is actually how the talk with the preacher should have worked out too, since now I wasnt sure if situation was continuing, or if it was resetting everytime, because sounded like puncing one place resetted the situation, since I had to use "Talk man" again, instead of pushing numbers until I get it right.
I havent played much text adventure games, so I cant really say if this is any good compared to the rest. But basically one thing I would have liked had been to know the progress of the game somehow, as in, am I already half way done with the game or something, since basically if this is a short game, then I might want to continue and play this through even. If on the other hand I have played no more than 10 percent of this game yet, then I definetily am not interested in finishing this, especially since the humour and some other things didnt appeal to me.
As in, I felt it was contradictory that on one hand the main character is basically very upscale woman, and yet there is toilet humour and all these drinking humour in the game, or like the father cussing suddenly in his poetry. I personally find these mostly unhumorous, or rather, it can actually be very funy when upscale people do vulgar things, due to the contrast, but I didnt feel like you were able to hit that, but it was rather more like that someone had potty humour in his mind, and then thought it would be funny if potty humours target is upscale people, but fails to make it nothing more than potty humour.
But other than that, I was interested in the story, and did enjoy playing this basically. Wouldnt stay very long in this, but it has more to do with that I dont think text games appeal to me enough, that they are rather short time of something slightly different, rather than actually spending a whole day enjoying.
Anyway, if you tell me how to get forward from my location, or if I hit a bug or something, I might continue this later, since I am at same time feeling like not wanting to continue anymore, as well as wanting to continue it forward, not sure which wins.
