Reviews for "Playing With Letters"

Clever. Everything ties together pretty well-- nice uniformity.
The riddle was the easiest for me, because I hate anagrams and since the game is dark it didn't seem hard to come up with the answer when the mind is already there. Loved the last answer. I wouldn't have cared for the story so much if it wasn't for that reveal. I also liked hearing the reversed music. Thought it quite fitting when the writer was talking about how others called him/her devil.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thank you!
I'm pleased to hear that the consistency is appreciated.

Yes, I was actually hoping a bit that the riddle would be given away by the mindset one was in. A bit of an experiment in one way.
The last answer is the first one I came up with; the whole game is based around that. I thought the idea so good that I just had to realize it in some way.

Heh, to be honest, I actually borrowed something from you for the sake of unifomrity. While I wrote some of the final, perhaps a bit more cold-hearted letters, I listened to "Return". But what I did was, I analyzed all the emotions in your track, and tried to revome those emotions from my writing, as that part is about loss just like your piece, but from a very different perspective. Thank you for that!

I've always had a thing for reverse music as well. Thanks a lot for playing and reviewing, Phonometrologist!!!

N. U. D. E? Nude? I spelled nude?

B. O. Y. Nude boy? Really?

Nude boy, hi? Well this is weird.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Hahha, noooo XD Don't spell out spoilers with such big letters :p
But don't worry about it.
Weird it what I'm here for, baby ;)

Thanks for fanning up!!

This was an awesome game, the perfect difficulty. Looking forward too the next one. Loved the think outside the box puzzle.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I'm glad you liked it, monkey567!
I'm surprised to hear that so many people thought the outside of the box thing was interesting. Initially, I thought that people would think it's a stupid gimmick or something XD
If I were to do things again, I'd have definitely made it so that it's actually possible to figure it out by oneself :p

Thank you for playing!

hard but nice game! i love text-based games, but if you make a graphic novel i'll love you 4 the eternity ;D (please say yes :F)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Hahha, well... I have no plans on making one now, but perhaps sometime in the future? Who knows :)

This was a beautiful, simplistic, challenging game that I absolutely loved. The atmosphere was perfect and put a bit of pressure to solving the riddles without the need for a timer ticking away. I'm very eager to see what will come next!

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I would've hated for there to be a timer for this game :p
While not supposed to be relaxing, I want the player to feel as if he were the detective, alone in that room, with only the letters, boxes, and the music :)
Thank you!
