The Murdering Midget!!

Murdering Midget! As the title indicates, this game includes a murdering midget - what more could you need in a storygame? I'm glad you asked.

This game appears to be one of the older games on the site, and it is fairly well done considering some others from that era. The description gives a warning about graphic realism, but in relation to other games it is pretty tame.

The concept is straightforward; you make choices to survive a murderer. In this case, this murderer happens to be a midget, but unfortunately his stature does not really provide any uniqueness to the plot.

I guess trying to survive a murderer qualifies for the horror section, but the narrative never really brought any scare. This was a bit disappointing especially in light of the title. I expected more and got less - this was not a "world of nightmare".

It is a fairly short game, and had a decent amount of branching and choices. There was a variety of endings, although a few of them ended "without having things to get messy". Bummer. It is a HORROR game. Either you ratchet up the creepiness to an unreal level, or you splatter everything with blood and gore - ideally both.

Overall, not the best, but better than some.

Great game. Some of the scenarios seemed short, but that's not a problem. This game really accomplishes putting you in a consistent world, I can't tell you how many CYOA's I've played seem to be random scenarios. The only inconsistency I saw was that there was no gun in the set of scenarios where you meet Alice.

Hmm... murdering midgets, ah yes, my favorite pasttime.

This story is older than I am!

And it is rated higher than my first game was despite being short and utter garbage full of spelling errors. There are even errors in the description.

This story should be unpublished by a mod in my opinion.

Short and dumb

It is not scary at all

Bad

Wow. I wa sticking random options and yet I survived, without “having things to get messy”. Huh.

It’s called the murdering midget.

But in the end we’re murdering the midget.

The makes it all the different.
