What follows is a much longer and more detailed review than I have written for other games in this competition.  My hope is that others will read this and reply.  I am curious if others have similar feelings about this game.  The following review contains mild spoilers, but does not reveal the solutions to any puzzles or give away the ending.  I can't give away the ending.  After three hours of play, I still haven't reached the end game.

16th annual IF Comp

Last year I was so disappointed with the first nine games I played that I don't even remember if I bothered to judge.  The year before I entered a game in the competition, so I couldn't judge.  This year looks more promising.  I see many recognizable names among the authors.  Two of the first three games I played were worth recommending.  The third author admitted his game was unfinished, so I have only myself to blame for playing it.  I'll post my reviews here.
