The Initial State

Author:Matt Barton
Genre:Science Fiction
Released:2006
Review:

One of the most pessimistic games of the Competition. Features a self-made parser, which isn't too advanced; however, the game manages to circumvent its limitations pretty well. Not really a masterpiece, but pretty effective in its own way (although it's still not enough for a rating of three stars).

Rating: **
