Stumbling through Uninvited

[davidn]

After two weeks with my parents here and not really working on anything during the evenings in favour of actually going and enjoying life with people, I'm back on my computer again now. I've missed these - have you?

This time, I picked up a game that I'd been aware of for ages, but hadn't ever tried - a game which, as I was to find out during the course of this video, contains three hundred rooms, six thousand inventory items, and a puzzle. It's Uninvited!

I actually did this about a fortnight ago, but it took me this long to finally edit it together. I think I got a few good moments out of it, but the majority of the video is of wandering around hoovering up items from most of the house and not really understanding what to do - the pitfalls of the adventure game genre. By the end I felt like I was just getting started, but the video had already been going on for over twenty minutes, so I felt it best to quit while I was ahead.

I think I'll do something more actiony again next time, that I have a decent chance of grasping entirely instantly - perhaps Marble Madness.

Please don't laugh at the way I say "Gameboy".

That is the best, most amazing summary of Shadowgate that I have ever heard.
