A Matter of Heist Urgency by FLACRabbit
A Matter of Heist Urgency is a quick, polished parser game where you play a horse with supernatural powers; even more supernatural, that is, than those of all the other human-intelligence horses in the setting. The crown jewels have been stolen by a bunch of no-good llamas, and you must recover them! What follows is a series of quick scenes, most of them fast-paced action. You hit and kick, and perhaps you come up with a few nice touches like throwing the coconut or kicking the capstan, in which case you’ll be rewarded by appropriate narration. It’s all good fun. We don’t get many action sequences in parser, and it’s nice to see it pulled off so well, although the techniques used by FLACRabbit might not generalise to games that want to be more tense or substantial.
