Alana’s Dungeon

At under 10 minutes, you can just go play this one. This has less of the wild twists of childhood imagination that are often my favorite parts of the Senica Thing games. It’s more “small person doing a serious job of making a game,” perhaps? But it managed some excellent moments of its own: donning the armor and wielding the sword, for instance. And it was a tense few moments of being convinced that something was going to come out of the dark and eat me before I finished rifling the desk drawers or managed to find a way out. And an “oh no, how bad is this going to be?” when I realized that I actually was going to have to release the orc to get at the key. Well done.
