There's a nice feature in the game's inventory code which > prints out the results of an X ME before printing the inventory on the first > time it's used. Subsequently, it just prints the inventory. I thought this > worked so well that I'd like to see it become an IF standard. Also, there's > a game-within-a-game that serves as an entertaining satire of the medium > itself. There's a nice multi-stage puzzle involving gaining a credential, > and I found the story interesting enough that I felt sorry when time ran > out. Mostly, though, my reaction to Kurusu City was a puzzled shrug. REFERENCES [1]
