Health points and a medikit round out the blatant videogameisms, but there really isn&#8217;t enough content here for either to become relevant. Input is in the form of selecting numbered choices from a context-specific list, which makes it even more like the old Choose Your Own Adventure books than the other CYOA-style games this year. It really reminds me of the sort of godawful stuff that people used to write in BASIC and post to BBSes back in the 1980s; it even runs in 40-column mode, as if it was written for the PCjr or something. I&#8217;m guessing that it&#8217;s supposed to be nostalgic, but I didn&#8217;t care for this sort of thing back in the day either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spoilers follow the break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[84,53,507],"class_list":["post-2044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-if","tag-if","tag-ifcomp","tag-ifcomp-2011"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2044"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2045,"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044\/revisions\/2045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wurb.com\/stack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
