Unhallowed
by Blerkotron
Authored with PAW, Unhallowed was released bang on Halloween. While the plot is riddled with malevolence, we must commend the author for his compassion; for this is a game that does away with the common niggles that discourage many people from playing text adventures. It is made very clear when you shouldn't pursue a particular path, and you know all the verbs you can use from the start. As a result you can submerse yourself in the spookiness and actually enjoy solving the puzzles, instead of wandering in circles pulling your hair out (mostly). It's well written, and needs no pictures to draw you into a chilling otherworld. Unhallowed probably won't have you checking under your bed after playing, but it manages to be at least slightly spooky - especially if you're living alone in a 1960's terraced house...
