The Recruit
Author: Mike Sousa
Language: TADS2
Genre: Puzzles
Score: 7
An unabashed puzzle game. As you soon discover, your entire purpose is to
beta-test a "real life" adventure game. Though it's been done before, I
found this game did a pretty impressive job of implementing it. The
puzzles were certainly original with some clever solutions, and those are
major pluses if puzzles are your game's major focus. The most freaky
moment was when I restarted the game and it came up with my name for the
PC, complete with the uncommon spelling. Mike included a large number of
RAIF/RGIF regulars in his list of random PC names and didn't, as I briefly
thought, include some kind of telepathic link. So 1 point off for
disappointing me there. (Kidding)
