Great idea the text and the animation, but actually it's not my kind of stuff.
Strangely everything work pretty well together song, text, animation.
It lack of some sound effects, but that a great text aventure.

Nice art and music!

Great graphics and a wonderful soundtrack. As you said, way too short but it's humour and mood make it a fun experience

Art and music were both superb. The story was fun (in an eerie, bleak way) and the humor was on point.

that was pretty great! a nice, succinct experience. well put together!

Thought i'd broken it when the screen went black, so had to play it again to make sure (turns out I had, it hadn't shown any text).

Great graphics and music!

good game, has been delighting me music

I found the art great along with the animation. One of the best text adventures I've seen yet!

Great mood, graphics and audio.

This was a nice experience. The soundtrack carried it well to the end. I died. After having a wank and not finding Narnja.
I like the game - it knows what it's strong at. It doesn't need me to tell.

...
Played it twice - hoping for a different ending. Nope. No Luck.

The first two games I scrabbled around desperately before giving in and drinking. On the third game, having realised the extent of my options, I closed the window on the game while my character was enjoying himself. That way I can imagine he's still there, hunched over happily for eternity...

Nice concept, great music and very strong atmosphere. I especially loved the personality you managed to inject into the scribe with those little animations.

What sweet graphics and what a nice soundtrack! you really set the mood right and -- though i personally am not that much into text adventures -- this one was just great!

Loved the text based adventure with the animation! Good use of humor and mood. Audio was entertaining :D

bit weird that you have to scroll with the mouse wheel but select with the number keys. pretty short game but it was enjoyable, I like the connection with the theme and the disparity of what was being written and what was on the screen.

loved the music in this submission, it went really well with your visual design (I've heard quite a few great tracks on a lot of entries this time round)

The game was a little short, but what you had worked well!

DrInking leads to black screen. Then what?

theexgenesis 2014-08-29 21:16

First of all, let me thank everyone for the delightful comments ^^ Secondly, when you drink while you have other options left, you "fail". The real ending happens when you exhaust every way of escaping

nice music

hippolyta 2014-09-06 21:52

Nice little game! Reminded me of the good old text-adventures ;-)

defacid 2014-09-07 19:17

Hah! That was an interesting presentation of a text game!

garygreen 2014-09-11 20:52

Great idea and well presented. The graphics and audio were a very nice touch.
