Earl Grey

Authors:Rob Dubbin and Adam Parrish
Released:2009
Review:

A great game based almost entirely on puns and wordplay. This is the root of both the strong sides and the drawbacks of this work. On one hand, the unconventional interactions are implemented very carefully, and represent a refreshing experience; on the other hand, some of the perfectly legitimate word transformations that result from it don't work. At some occassions, it's not clear what to do to advance the story. Still, it's absolutely recommended, although you probably should keep the walkthrough at hand.

Rating: ****
