Psssh, in choose your own adventure books you just hop back to the last page you were at.

Honestly though, if this were a book, you guys wouldn't give two shits about it right?

I dunno, I guess I thought it was some suspend like Wii VC system. I didn't think one could just save and then jump back in again.

I like this game a lot but I wish they spent more time editing the dialogue as there are a lot of misspelled words and typos still in the text! Also call me an idiot or whatever but that coin game you play with the old hag was the stupidest most non-clever puzzle. Someone had to spoil it for me! I was expecting some clever solution and when I finally heard it I was so goddamn pissed off. They should really remove the words "In a row" from the instructions for that game.

[Intentionally Wrong]

I picked this up at GameStop a couple days ago, and wow. This game has more rails than a roller-coaster. The business internisus describes is particularly infuriating. From a design perspective, I guess I can understand why they've structured it the way they have; several plots have to unwind simultaneously and and so for Kyle's dialog responses to make sense, you can't be allowed to explore too far down one path before uncovering stuff in the other.

Still, though! When Martin Summer asks me to do something, it seems like that should be a higher priority than fiddling with a pen! Yet I'm not even allowed to attempt to fulfill Martin's request until I've finished the pen business, because I have to give the pen to Louis after you figure it out, and then Louis has to return it with more info after you finish Martin's task.

There's a lesson here about the dangers of rigidly structured narrative that's dependent on puzzles as pacing elements.

Yes, there certainly is. It's clear that Cing needs a good game designer on top of their writers, artists, and programmers, but you have to wonder just what can be done with a rigidly structured linear narrative.

Kevin, the phrase "in a row" is what makes the solution logical. You just have to think in three dimensions.

[oneEIGHTkevin]

To me a row has always been like a linear arrangement of some object. You can't just line shit up and at the same time pile shit on other shit and call it a row!

If you tilted your head sideways so that the Z-axis became the new X-axis then that would be a row. A row just means a straight line. It doesn't have to be two-dimensional. Realizing this is the clever bit of the solution.
