Roads of Liches by Andrew Schultz
Summary: You note an after-dark dafter ark. You are promised loads of riches … and you walk through. There are roads – empty at first, but then liches run you off them, to a park…
Thoughts while playing: Oh boy… another word play game. Oh yay, I think I get the mechanic! Oh no… Oh, right that makes this word out loud! Ha-AH! I found that one in the first try… Ok, let’s just check the walkthrough real quick cause I have no idea… And now I’m lost (downloading the map)… Ok, done that, and that, and that… How to I move those sheep now? Oh-huh… I think I got myself suck…
In her review of Andrew’s other entry, Amanda thought he was a disciple of Dr. Seuss. And, from my little knowledge/exposure of Seuss’s work, I think this entry makes it more obvious than Taller Tech Mauler Mech. It’s very whimsical in terms of the gameplay, and absurd when you look at the prose. When you don’t, it’s pretty frustrating (and you feel a bit dumb). But when you get it, it’s really fun (and you feel so darn smart). Anyway, I gave up after getting 23/50-53 as a score, but not before I scooped my brain out of all my guessing cells!
