The Successor Reviews

I like the intro to this game and it is a good premise for a game. Unfortunately
this is let down by the first location which although containing many fantastic
items, none of them can be examined.
The map is disabled which I do not like, it either mean the author is trying to
hide something or it is too complex to display. Not keen on either.
Not enough aliases have been used for the various objects in the game. A typical
example is the item being carried from the start, either a gold or silver watch
(depending on your answer to the male/female question). Watch does not work, you
need to enter Gold Watch. x control panel rather than panel
It is very possible to put the game into an unwinnable state, which I did many
times. Quite a few of the task can only be done once. For example you can only
get in the lift once which means if you need to return you can't then get back
into the lift.
The games does contain various GTV problems - try using
the binoculars to look out of a window.
By far the authors biggest crime though is the inclusion of a maze! A Maze! They
are never enjoyable and I do not know why authors still feel they need to
include them. Don't!
I feel that overall I was disappointed with the game, I expected more. I liked
the concept behind the game, I enjoyed the location and object descriptions. I
never felt I had much to do in the game which seems to comprise of five main
tasks. Lack of things to do, few object aliases, some GTV and not enough testing
let the game down.
