Sycamora Tree

Author:David Dyte
Genre:Humor>Joke
Released:2000
Review:

A parody based on a Swedish company's attempt to start a commercial IF venture--their request for games, posted to the newsgroup rec.arts.int-fiction, stipulated, among other things that the game should have "at least 300 or more words at every long description such as GET KEY, OPEN DOOR." This is a tiny, very funny game fulfilling that requirement.

Rating: ****
