Adam Cadre Speaks:

10: The Edifice. This was my favorite game by a comfortable margin. I found the setting instantly absorbing, loved the humor, loved all the features that made playing it a comfy experience, but I think the two factors that made me rank this #1 are (a) virtually everything I tried elicited a non-canned response, and (b) the language puzzle. I hate puzzles. I'm no good at them, and I'm usually not very interested in them -- usually when I encounter one I can't solve right away I check the hints, work through it, and get back to what I =am= interested in: the story. The language puzzle, on the other hand, had me wishing it would never end... every time I figured out a new word, or entered a new sentence and got yet another fun and unique response, I wanted to jump around the room giggling like a maniac. (Luckily, I managed to restrain myself -- the orderlies at the local mental hospital are mean.)
