Player Comments on Welcome to College...

A pretty good simulation :) That school trip sounds a lot more tiring than the ones I sometimes organize for my students, our last one was to a pizza restaurant where all the kids made pizzas and then we cooked and ate them :) Getting paid to eat pizza is pretty much a dream come true :P

So I came across this story randomly, and decided to read it since it appeared to be about an activity I've done many times...

Thankfully, my own group backpacking trips go a lot more smoothly than this. People stop for "bathroom breaks" as a matter of course, and there is never a need to stop and make it a group effort. Just continue ahead a little bit, put some discrete distance between you and the one conducting the business, and chill for a moment. Really, it's that easy.

I joke that I have a "80% success rating" on the wilderness trips I lead, meaning that if I return with 80% of the people I set off with, it was a good day. In reality, I'm still hovering somewhere around 100%.

But yes, unless I missed a more interesting storypath, someone's pee stop is the "crisis" of this tale. The choices I encountered before that fateful event were about non-issues. Basically, I was asked to decide if I was lost or knew where to go, or if the group I was leading was in a good mood or not. I don't know; you're the author, shouldn't you be telling me?

Then when Bob needs to "go," the choices became more responsive to the narrative situation which was better.

However, I disagree that the successful resolution when Bob got separated was to alarm the entire group and have everyone shout Bob's name as they returned en masse down the trail. Yes, there is something to be said for keeping the group together. But the option of having my co-leader stay with the group while I backtracked alone in search of Bob ended with me losing the trail too.

No. If I'm that incompetent at finding my way, I have no business leading a wilderness hike.

Kind of pointless. 3/8.

Meh.Its the worst.

I liked the game and enjoyed playing it. Just because it reminds me of my trips to Red River Gorge. But anyway I think you did a good job.

Was okay

Well, nice. but there was no explanation of what the character actually did. There were no descriptions of the terrain or anything. Please improve by adding these things and I will replay and rate it.

It's pretty linear and boring.

Funniest game I've played in quite a while. Though, it should be longer.

The title is a bit inappropriate, as this game has little to do with the actual college experience. Also, I find the correct options to be a little too obvious.

Short but enjoyable. Also pretty linear. It was over in around fifteen clicks. 3/8

Not remotely comparable to my college experience, but it was ok. Linear and short, but ok.

Hmm... It needs more bears, in my opinion.
