Yes, this is my first time experiencing IFComp from the player’s side - I’ve been an author up until now! I’m enjoying it so far - and looking forward to reading your reviews as well.
Over on the big games thread I promised to take up Little Girl in Monsterland’s challenge of a fifteen-hour game experience. Well, I did: I played it for two hours and then rated it. But by then I was sucked in. And so I kept playing - for many more hours - until I completed it.
I’m so glad to see you liked my game and even felt compelled to complete it! Thank you so much! I’m really touched . Thank you for understanding the user interface, and having the patience to get used to it.
I’m aware some jokes are borderline, and I am a bit embarassed by that myself . (in my defense, you can’t imagine those I deleted ) Some of the jokes probably lost something in the translation, but that was the best I could do. Also sorry for the irreligiosity of some jokes – but Dracula is who he is. Also, sorry for the typos you mention – I’ll fix them as soon as I find them!
Thanks a lot for being the first one to complete my game and for your kind words!
As a token of gratitude, I’ve promoted your user to graphic mode, so if you login now you can play with graphics (only the first half, as the second half isn’t ready yet). . Here is a sample of what you’ll see: do you recognize the locations?
O.K. - I’ve now played through some of the early parts of the graphical version of the game. Those scenes really are gorgeous; thank you for granting me access!
Gameplay feels somewhat different now, with the point-and-click interface as opposed to the choice-based menu options. It does seem to run somewhat more slowly now, too - I suppose it just takes more time to load those images.
You used the Uffizi as the model for the exterior of the museum, right?
Thanks again for the access to the graphic version!
Added: After thinking about this game some more, I wrote a second review. The link is the same as before, and the original review appears at the bottom of the second one.
(Added: I’ve been made aware that the most recent update to Lovely Assistant: Magical Girl - made while I was finishing up the original version - fixes some of the problems I note in my review.)
