| Review: | This game, which takes place on an unidentified college campus, places you
in the position of having to destroy all your drug paraphernalia before the
cops find it. Witty and thematic - many of the puzzles are drug-based,
and things like videogames and religion are described in the imagery of
addiction. The Inform port is quite sloppily implemented, with bugs of
varying severity (one puzzle can be avoided completely if you use the right
phrasing) and more instances of bad noun resolution ("Which do you mean, the
information desk receptionist or the information desk?") than in any other
game I care to remember. Contains some constrictive time limits and many
opportunities to lock yourself out of victory.
Rating: ***
