Fight or Flight

Author:Sean Krauss
Released:2006
Review:

The game features a potentially solid (albeit somewhat second-hand) horror plot; however, the overall structure chosen for it means a lot of character interaction, and this, unfortunately, is the point where this work fails entirely. The meta-puzzle "guess what input the author made the half dozen NPCs react to" barely can be solved without the (thankfully enclosed) walkthrough. The two endings implied by the game title turn out to be a misdirection, as well: there's only one winning path through the game.

Rating: ***
