The year is 1929. A mysterious carnival has come to town.
Guttersnipe: Carnival of Regrets is a humorously grotesque (or grotesquely humorous) game about a street urchin and her pet sewer rat trying to survive a trip through a dark carnival full of sin, secrets, and murderous clowns.
Special thanks to play testers Tosh Bibb, Norman Rafferty, Steph Cherrywell, Sarah Adams, Siadmander, and Scroll Lock! And to Davy B for coding and problem solving!
Guttersnipe: Carnival of Regrets won the alumni choice ribbon in the 2017 Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction (springthing.net)

I was about to play the latest Guttersnipe game when I thought it better to start with the first one published a year ago. As the previous reviewers have indicated it is excellent! For me, I most enjoyed (i) the writing; (ii) the humour; (iii) the scale, duration and challenge of the game; (iv) the automatic map; (v) the absence of dead-ends and player deaths of any sort; and (vi) the cover art.
I noticed what appear to be a few inconsistencies in the way that 'give' and 'use' are implemented but to avoid spoilers I send details in a separate message. Generally, this is a well crafted game, and so an easy 5 stars.
"Giant Homicidal Communist Vampire Spotted Devilbeast from Hell (Glutteus Infernalis)." LOL! This is a very witty, descriptive, and interesting game. Fully recommend! It may take me a while to finish all the puzzles, but it's a great start!
