Cerulean Stowaway
Author: Roger Descheneaux
Language: TADS2
Genre: Science fiction
Score: 6
The infodump intro does a good job of presenting the world, but is still
way too much text to display at the start of a game. Don't expect to be
surprised by the turn of events as you progress through the game. On the
other hand, it is quite surprising at how easy it is to get the game stuck
in an unwinnable state. Some objects had standard denial responses to
some perfectly reasonable actions, but otherwise the world was adequately
modeled. The context-sensitive hints mostly worked, though in some cases
they failed to provide any help later on in the game.
