I loved the writing in this game! Really funny. It was incredibly hard to wrestle with the parser, though. I went to Dan Fabulich's Invisiclues just to figure out how to use the phone, and after dying multiple times trying to figure out how to talk to the man and reset the safe, I gave up. Was SAY RESET supposed to reset the safe? It kept disambiguating by picking (to the man) and then I would die. Maybe I'll go back next week when I have more patience for trying things like SAY RESET TO SAFE. I think this would be an awesome game that I would probably love if the parser was more intuitive.
I won't rate it because I didn't get very far, but if I did I would give top marks for the writing and characters.
