The Frenetic Five vs. the Seven Deadly Dwarves
Part of Frenetic Five
| Author: | Neil deMause | | Genres: | Humor>Satire
Superhero | | Released: | 2002 | | Review: | Parody of both Interactive Fiction conventions and the conventions of the superhero genre. Strong on verbal humor and puns, with several sidekick NPCs; puzzles are (deliberately) rather arbitrary. Probably frustrating to new IF players.
Rating: ****
