Poppet by bitterkarella

Review 2theleft

Poppet is the 3rd one I've tried by bitterkarella (the others were Santa Carcossa Nights and All Visitors Welcome).
Everything worked without glitches, and I finished the game under my own steam.
I love the descriptions and period detail. Those kerosene fans used to be a thing, did they? Of course you can't leave them on if you go out!

This is really the opposite extreme from All Visitors Welcome. In Poppet none of the difficulty stems from the implementation. You are working on the puzzles themselves, and not on the infelicities of Quest. The difficulty level is such that you won't spend days being stuck.

I appreciate the way everything is rationalised, which must be quite difficult with such a fantastical premise. As with Carcossa, if you get through the challenges and reach the end, it will make you think.

Very cool, on par with the author's other games.

@bitterkarella
Thank you for replied, because of your help that I have finished the game… But the ending is too sad… I mean both endings. Well, I hope that you will continue your great works and making amazing text games.

@Male Annabelle Doll 96: Thanks for playing! If you try untying the boy in the basement, it should trigger some action after which you'll be able to put the shoe in the hole.

Hello, I hope you can help me
I have finished all of the tasks except for blocking the threshold so Juliet won’t comes down. When I try to put the shoe/use the shoe in the hole, it says I’m not ready to do that yet.
I don’t know if this is a glitch in the game or I have missed something important
Please reply soon, thank you very much, oh and I enjoyed the game very much
