Player Comments on GOL'BURGER

SPOILERS









The depths of disappointment I felt when I found out the delicious sounding number 9 scene was all just a memory cannot be put into words. I was actually getting hungry. I think I'll be frying up my own smashburgers tonight...


What I liked: This one went in quite an unexpected direction lol. I was enjoying the role-play of improving a fast food business. Boy did I not expect to be confronted with real restaurant mascot characters, or to actually end up on the menu. I suppose succulent human flesh would explain how delicious this restaurant's food is, though.

What I didn't like: Weirdly, the very same thing as the above. The strange twist was entertaining, but it also kind of robs the reader of the business adventure the story promises to be in the beginning. I think maybe I should follow all the paths to be sure I have a clear picture of what's going on.


In summary, this story has good descriptions (enough to make you nostalgic for childhood McDonalds or Dairy Queen adventures), and some nicely defined characters. It has a fun twist that is both good and bad, depending on what you wanted out of the story as a reader. I thought the twist was hysterical. Regardless, I want a cheeseburger now.

I really liked the twist! This was fun. Seriously good job, I liked how all the different characters had their own individual personalities and didn't seem like cutouts meant to fill space. I also like your writing style, well done

Positively wild. I bet I could crochet these mascots.

Haha, kidding. Not bad, especially given the length. Even though it was short, I felt like I got to see quite a lot. Different characters' personalities and the stories between them. The combination of heavy, ominous foreboding with somber reflections on personal relationships reminded me a little bit of Bradbury. Also like him, the storytelling here subtly rises without being in your face too quickly - like strange shadows seen out of place. Chilling.

Great story with a nice twist. The story was compelling enough to make me do multiple playthroughs and try all the options.

<<Spoilers ahead>>

When I first completed it, the twist literally made my jaw drop. It was only after that did I notice the sneaky horror tag that the author added to the story.

I guess my one gripe would be that there's no way to team up with Will and get a happy ending where you restore Gol'burger's original cooking practices. I am always partial to trying to get a reasonably happy ending in any game I play, but maybe that's just a subjective opinion.
