First Times by Hero Robb

Review by Jfulls002

This was the first IF text adventure I ever played, when I was about 12, and it scared the S**t out of me, but I loved it. Still love it at 18

It's a super awesome, fun, and creepy game. But with the hundred thousand freezes I gave up. Awesome job on the writing though. Very dark and twisted. :)

Admittedly, I'm not done with the game (At the part where the hallway blacks out and the doll is chasing me and I left it at that part because I need a damn breather first), but so far, I think I've played enough to say this has been absolutely AMAZING so far. It's the only horror text adventure I've played so far that managed to scare and freak the absolute Hell out of me.

The sounds are a very nice touch to it and definitely add in to the creep factor, and it hasn't been done in excess so far, so it's still creepy and definitely not overdone.

I'm a little loss at some parts, so I look around for hints others have put online, but I can definitely say so far that it has been amazing.

This game was very interesting, though I ended up not finishing it. I had followed a walkthrough for the second part, but i couldn't get something to happen, so i quit. I know that this is probably just something I didn't do, so over all, awesome game! ^^

This game was challenging at times, but amazing. I liked the different endings, and how some things stayed the same in all of them. There were definitely times that creeped me out, like when the character was in the booth and the woman came out. The sound effects there were especially nice.

At times, the game would freeze and I'd have to refresh the page and start from my last save point. Also, it would've been nice to know where we were, just to get a better idea of who we are and what we're doing.

And people, if you play this on the internet (IDK about the app), you can save. Take advantage of that!

A very good game, and quite difficult. The sounds are very eerie and the storyline is written in a way that's chilling to the bone. I quite like how there are 4 different endings and together, add some extra detail to the background story.

My only problem is that we were not able to fully understand the backstory and figure out just what we are or where we are, though the theme is horror, so doesn't take away from the whole game since it was thrilling for its entirety.

Certainly not a bad attempt for a first foray into IF. I didn't encounter any bugs, but to be honest, I only played about halfway through the game (judging by a walkthrough someone posted) and was not intrigued enough to continue any further. Maybe it just wasn't my thing--although I do like horror when done right (Lurking Horror, as an example). The "clanging" was a nice touch, but I didn't feel like the sound-effects were very evenly distributed in the game.

Review by Elixabit

I literally tried to play this game 8 different times, with each time ending in the game freezing, crashing, not loading, etc.
This game is really intriguing - however - I cannot STAND the amount of progress I've lost, having to restart so many times, rushing to get a bit further before the game decides to wonk out on me again.
Hero Robb, you have something really good here, don't let it be tarnished by these silly issues. You don't want your name to be synonymous with cheap annoyance.
If those issues weren't occurring, this game would have gotten a perfect score from me.

Review by Wordsmith

This was a great game! Of course, like nearly any game, there were a few glitches and bugs, along with a couple grammatical and punctuation errors...

BUT-- The fact of the matter when playing ANY game is the plot - And I feel as if it was welded in such a way that it kept me on my seat. I can honestly say that I admire Hero Robb's skill when it comes to making text-based games; Heck, trust me, I've tried, and it's just a lot to look at all at once.

All-in-all, to wrap up, this game not only has a great plot, but the adventure of itself while going through the game stayed pleasant, without any frivolous puzzles and tasks. I just don't know how to describe it without giving everything away, it's THAT amazing!
