Beta Tester

Author:Darren Ingram
Released:2009
Review:

Jokes about an incompetent company whose product you're testing got old I don't know how long ago. In addition, in this game, they are presented in a way that is most inconvenient and annoying for the player. There is little more than those jokes here, except maybe for a few bugs (due to one of them, you can make one of the NPCs strip... Not that it affects the story in any way). And yes - the game can't be beaten without the hints; at the same time, to use the hint system, you have to overcome the same dubious major game gimmick.

Rating: **
