Friday Afternoon

Author:Mischa Schweitzer
Genre:Slice of life
Released:1997
Review:

You're trying to get out of your office so that you can go on a date. There's a little too much of the author's actual office (i.e., the rest of us don't necessarily get all the jokes), but this is well put together and the puzzles are reasonably clever. The first one, in fact--your glasses are broken and you have to fumble around the office, unable to see anything--is rather innovative. Generally, it's a witty take on office boredom, and there's lots of whimsy and Easter eggs scattered around.

Rating: ****
