My creation
(Slight update from original review.)
My creation is a very small parser game that contains more implementation issues than many a large parser game. The five to ten minutes it will take you play it, will be spent almost entirely on fighting with the clearly untested world model and parser. Please people, get your game tested!
If you set all of these issues aside, what remains of My creation is actually quite interesting. It plays with one’s preconceptions about being a dad, since it turns out that this dad (in the sense of gender, not sex) is also a mother (in the sense of sex, not gender). Once that clicks into place, it becomes more clear why the bed is a three-room area. Let me tell you that the first days with a baby if there are two parents around are already a kind of HELL, and if you’re the only parent and without a support network, I frankly can’t even imagine it. It’s amazing if you still have the cognitive capacities to realise that Frankenstein is about parents and children, and the duty to love.
But do please get your next game tested?
(It hit me, later, that the implementation issues could be read in a meta way, as reflecting the mental state of the protagonist. But such a design decisions seems either unwise or positively trolling. So I’m sticking with the first, more innocent interpretation, namely that this game was made by an Inform novice and was just in dire need of one or two sympathetic beta testers.)
