Sins Against Mimesis

Author:Adam Thornton
Genre:Humor>Satire
Released:1997
Review:

This game basically consists of a slew of rec.arts.int-fiction in-jokes strung together. In a riff from John's Fire Witch, you must gather seven text adventures representing the deadly sins. After that, it just gets sillier. Features a hint menu.

Rating: ***
