Game #27: The Lighthouse
Game’s Blurb: The Lighthouse is a small game in where your main foucus is to turn on the light in the Havenworth lighthouse. This game is very short and also is my very first game!
I feel so bad for the game’s authors that I’ve added the bonus point to the free point, just so I wouldn’t have to put The Lighthouse on the same level as The Absolute Worst IF Game in History . This isn’t really even a game. It’s a collection of grammatical errors, locks and obvious keys, a button, and a profound lack of experience with both Inform and Interactive Fiction in general. It doesn’t feel like a joke entry, which makes it all the more disappointing.
I can only assume the author is very young and just not that ambitious.
Did you pick up the button and carry it around and push it in random rooms?

Ha ha. No. Too funny.
I’ve heard he’s 15. Or they’re 15. There’s a blog, and it sounds like they were pretty excited about the competition. Maybe they just ended up rushed for time. I dunno.
