Journal Week 9

Not enjoyable. I didn’t particularly like any one of those games, but that’s just my opinion. I get bored very quickly.

I believe these text games base their “fun” components from discovery/adventure and possible fantasy. Therefore, if you are a gamer that has no interest in those elements, text-based games just isn’t for you.

There are some elements in the game that did keep my “re-trying”. As there are many possible things you can type in to receive a response that may lead you to the next stage of the game, it keeps me thinking of which path is correct etc. Façade had images as well as the text component that did increase the fun level. However, in saying this, it is very likely because I have adapted to the games in today’s selection, being all 3D graphics and full on.
