Tryst of Fate

Author:G. M. Zagurski
Genres:Western
Fantasy
Released:1997
Review:

The story of an ordinary housewife lured into a fanciful Western setting involving cowboy gnomes and magic bubble gum. Given the premise, it's suprising how natural it all seems. Nice settings, suitably amusing caricatures for characters, fair and varied puzzles (the hardest one is a cryptarithm), classical three-chapter design (intro/main game/endgame).

Rating: ****
