The Erudition Chamber
Author: Daniel Freas
Language: TADS2
Genre: Fantasy / Puzzles
Score: 7
In the real world, there is rarely one solution for any given problem.
In this game, there are four, each adhering to a different principle.
Because of this, The Erudition Chamber, nearly a naked puzzle game, was
the only game I played to completion multiple times. Some of the
solutions are definitely more obvious than others. A few take some
definite thought. The great thing about this design: we all approach
puzzles differently, and here we have problems with solutions that should
be deducible no matter how your brain works. My only complaint is that I
never felt particularly immersed or in character. As such, the endings
were nice but my victory didn't give me too much of a thrill.
