American Angst: Text-based Survival Horror by m3g1dd0

Review Ater Imber

This was SUCH an awesome game!

The pacing, writing and story-line/plot were awesome. Going from waking up not knowing anything, to having the pleasure of uncovering all the horrors around you was great. Captivating for sure! I especially love that the plot to this could very easily happen in today's world (if it isn't already).

I'd call it more unnerving than horror, though. While it didn't outright scare me, I was definitely apprehensive/anxious for most of it. I also kept half expecting jump scares or random loud noises to startle me, and I'm happy to report that didn't happen!

This game is definitely worth playing, especially if you're new to interactive fiction games. I love the clicking on options option, instead of typing in commands - I think this style lends itself better to keeping you in the game, instead of being pulled out by multiple 'you can't go that way' messages.

I thought it was going to be shorter than it was (I thought 'oh, I'll just play this quickly before bed'), though I didn't time it, I think it took me about 1hr. Finished around 1am, but definitely started sometime when the clock said 12. I also found some spelling mistakes ('glass' was often spelled with only 1 's'), but it wasn't anything too distracting.

All in all, I definitely liked it, and would love to see/play more games like this!

Review ambrosiarei

I like it a lot! It's clear how much work went into this. Although it was frustrating that I kept dying and had o click through the same room again. Other than that it was great!

Review Evil_P

Review theDepurze

Wanted to give 5 stars for the hard work and dedication you have put into this, but I had e to take a star off because nearly all of my attacks miss so much it's not even funny.

Review RuthlessDust

I haven't even finished the game and I just have to give it 5 stars!

Review Negroyama

This is, by far, the best of it's genre. The story very well written, the interaction is just perfect, the HUD is clean and the vibe is very strong. Can't wait to discover new endings for this one!

Review honeystick

this is probably my favourite text adventure of all time. I went back to play it again, and that's a lot from someone who doesn't even finish half of the games they play. the story is so, so clever; it's definitely a must-play.
