A Good Breakfast

Author:Stuart Adair
Genre:Slice of life
Released:1997
Review:

You wake up, hung over from a night of partying, and your goal is to eat something. Witty in places, but filled with artificial puzzles (for instance, to get through your front door, you need to solve a ridiculously complicated puzzle involving four rotating gnomes), and it's something of a distasteful premise. The writing's very good, though, and there's a amusing Zork parody, and if you don't mind puzzles thrown in for their own sake, you might like it. Has a hint menu.

Rating: ***
