Steven Howard Speaks:

"The Edifice" by Lucian Smith

Notes: Titular plot device transports the player to three "crucial moments" in human evolution. Anthropologically suspect, especially in the third scene. The first scene, involving the use of tools and fire, is the best, although it contains a nasty bug: by leaving out an ingredient in the fire-building process, I put the game into an endless loop.

In a word: Over-ambitious.

Rating: 4
