Comment theturkishzoo

I just remembered the other day that this existed and thought "oh crap I forgot to finish the sequel." Well, it's 6 years later but here I am lmao. I already had it half done and just need to finish the other half. In the meantime, I've gone ahead and reuploaded this one but with the grammar fixed. Well, most of it fixed anyway. Probably didn't get everything because I'm a doo doo head, but what can ya do. Enjoy!

Review Smileyshoes

Thee opinion of ye game be that I be a dirty bastard and take the evil ending. Alas, thee opinion of ye game be th' theme it be goin' with the ol' Ye Olde English language, even if ye olde bastard french made up the bastard english laugh, gave me a damn good laugh and made thee have smile on ye olde face. And th' whole idiotic "Bad Barber with evilness powers" be goddamn laughable. So, thee opinion of thee game is that "Ye Olde Barbershop" be some of the best speed me been on...

ALSO, YE AUTHOR BE A BASTARD FOR MAKIN' ME LAUGH FOR 10 MINUTES STRAIGHT.
ye arse.

Comment theturkishzoo

Thank you everyone for the reviews and comments! To address one point in the reviews, I didn't really write the story setting out to use Elizabethan English in the proper grammatical context, basically just trying to be goofy by inserting olde timey words and olde timey sounding words all willy nilly like in a modern setting. I apologize if that takes away from the enjoyment in any way, but I do thank you for giving your honest opinions about it. I've started working on another tale of the "Ye Olde Adventurer" with separate adventures depending on the beginning choice and more options, hopefully it'll be out soon :)

Review DaNiX88

This story is highly amusing and though filled with grammatical errors, the Old English remains understandable and funny. I was also impressed with the many different humourous choices and endings, which left me wanting to find them all. I especially liked the "undo" options, which made this whole process easier. However, it still could have maintained most of its humour if proper grammar had been used. So, although it didn't bother me, I can't bring myself to give the game 5 stars because of this.

Review Mr Noggin

Very amusing, and fairly short.

I really like the Elizabethan English bit, but unfortunately the grammar is terrible, and some (many) of the words are wrong. It is readable, though.

This is just amazing

Review Ilovemusic237

I love this game! It matches my energy and did make me laugh out loud multiple times. I also like the Elizabethian English. I highly recommend to all! :)

Comment XanMag

I just thought I'd throw out another comment to get it seen (hopefully) again in the activity section of this page. It made me laugh a couple times - the only game to make me do so. Give it a try.

Happy gaming!

Review XanMag

I'm not sure why I liked this so much. Perhaps it's mine ale that doth distract me?

But, I actually laughed out loud a couple times. Some may find the writing annoying but I think that's part of the humor. I also appreciate being able to go to my last decision without replaying it all over.

Very well done. Fan or no fan of game books, all should give this a chance. Fairly quick play and worth it. Grats.
