Chicken Farm - An Interactive Guide to Raising Cocks by Shawn Pillai

Review by Silver

I don't think the author has really got the hang of the fundamentals of text adventures. It is very story driven so, for example, you will enter an area and be treated to a ream of unsolicited dialogue from whoever is present. Not such a bad thing, if that's your bag. The problem is that if you leave that particular area then return to it you get the entire scene played out to you all over again in true Groundhog Day fashion. The author has spent some considerable time on descriptions so I almost feel guilty awarding it a mere two stars. This would be more suited as a choose your own adventure, minus the choices. Has the author considered writing a book instead?
