Hmm, am I the only one who finds this game uniquely frustrating? It's like watching a car crash... Most of the time, the characters are talking much too fast for me to get a word in edgeways (although admittedly I'm a bit slow at typing), and when I do, my sentence is either too long for the command line or the characters misunderstand me. That's probably my fault rather than the parser's, but I still find it frustrating. Not to mention that I'm struggling with the navigation and constantly bumping into walls or characters...
I thought the idea was interesting, but I'm a bit disappointed by the execution, to be honest. I just don't get the sense that I can really interact enough - or quickly enough - to change anything, and that's a little annoying, because no matter what I try to do or say, everything seems to go horribly wrong in the end. It might help if there was a way of adjusting dialogue speed, but sadly there isn't. Oh well.

I know what you mean AJ. It's a unique idea, but it's very hard to play through.
I can never seem to say the right thing. Everything I DO say gets twisted round, and they get even more angry. Either that, or they just completely ignore me. And by the time I finished typing something. they are talking about something completely different. *screams quietly*

I wonder what they'd do if you actually *tried* to upset them. Perhaps they'd misunderstand that too?

If you try to upset them, maybe it would have the opposite effect, and that would actually be the right thing to do?
It's very confusing.

Gah, I give up. Even deliberately trying to annoy them doesn't produce any different results. Whatever I do or say, in the end they either tell me I "don't need to say any more" and show me the door(?) or Trip storms off in a huff. Really irritating.
