The Ascot

Author:Duncan Bowsman
Released:2009
Review:

A CYOA where you have to answer yes or no each turn. Unfortunately, some of the choices are based on information the player only gains later in the game, so that you need to use trial and error (or, more precise, saving and restoring) tactics to win. The plot is (deliberately) silly; on the other hand, the game is full of no less silly humour that I liked very much.

Rating: ***
