I suspect that whoever comes across this Game does not need to explain what Text adventures are, or Infocom. But, for Safety ... The Game consists of Text Editions and player input, both in English. There is no Sound whatsoever, and as one of the few cautious Modernizations, there is the only Graphic to be an auto map (the Call of which is, of course, voluntary). One story is told with a hapless Inventor as The main Character who finds out that, besides the World he knows, and in which he is in danger of failing, there is another in which ... But let's leave that. As a Player, the Inventor is told what to do, who to talk to or where to go. The Freedom gained through Text input can't offer you any other Method. Those who want to look under the Doormat face an intractable Problem at most Games. Here he can try it-whether he finds something Interesting there is, of course, another Question. The Game, though, had a good Answer ready for much I tried. And it gives you an extra Remedy in your Hand (which I don't want to spoil here) with which to try around and also "explore" incoming characters. Overall, an interesting, very humorous Game. In the Degree of difficulty, it is probably more in the lower Infocom range, but this may be better. And if you can't get on anyway, you have a multi-level Help System at his disposal. Oh yes: Infocom were the Masters of Text adventures in the Eighties. Bob Bates, the Author of Thaumistry, was an Author at Infocom (though not one of the best-known).

Thaumistry: In Charm'S Way-an interesting and humour stock interactive book, in the genre of sci-fi, from Bob Bates, the legendary author of many games 80-90-S. Language. There is only English, and very figurative, with a lot of literary and cultural references. Given that it is not so much a game as an interactive book, it is worth taking into account your knowledge of English before buying. Plot. In The book we learn the story of a hapless inventor, Eric Knight, whose daily routine was interrupted by the appearance in his laboratory of a stranger named Jack, who discovered our hero that he is a bodger, here-magician, and should help Jack and all the Bodhisattvas spoil Device Taumeter (Thaumeter) showing the use of magic. Otherwise, the bogers will be persecuted, which would be unfortunate. The Plot is spelled out perfectly, which is not surprising, given that the developer, interactive books has been developing since the 80s, has a lot of footnotes on fantastic books and movies, popular culture, from the film Back to the Future to Occupy Wallstreet, the same. Gameplay. Gameplay, as on the old interactive books of the Times ZX Specum'a-that is, we read the text, but the team should be vbival handles. That is, in order to inspect the subject, It is necessary to score examine the name of the object, etc. If you do not understand what to do, you can drive hint, get a hint on possible actions at this stage. Graphics and sounds. Only text + map, all graphics. There is no Music and no sounds at all, so you can put your background on something. As a result. A Very interesting and playful book on the theme of magic, inventions, and the hard life of scientists. Those who are well-proficient in English, Oldfagam remembering such an ancient gameplay, as well as lovers of good literature, categorically recommend! 8 Inventions from 10 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1126011506 P.
