A tale of elementary school by Gerald Aungst. Spoilers follow the break.

\nOnce more, I don’t have a lot to say. It’s cute, it’s short, it has no obvious bugs, it doesn’t have a lot of story. But what story there is branches: faced with the problem of misplaced homework, you can either find it or do it over from scratch. I expect most people will follow the latter branch, because the former involves some non-obvious actions and conversation-topic guessing. Unless there’s an alternate solution involving the custodian and the gym teacher; I never managed to do anything with either of them.<\/p>\n
The main charm of this game is in the details of pre-adolescent life: if the mention of Spiderman mittens or a backpack covered with ballpoint doodles evokes a wry smile, this game may be for you. Examining the contents of the PC’s homework folder, I found myself saying “Vocabulary word search<\/em>? Were school assignments this inane when I was in fourth grade?” and then “Oh, yeah, they were, weren’t they?”<\/p>\n My biggest gripe is that it replaces the default “I don’t understand that sentence” error message with “That noun did not make sense in this context”, which is misleading in cases where it can’t understand the verb.<\/p>\n Rating: 5<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A tale of elementary school by Gerald Aungst.
