Over-Analysing AIF: Review: Coffee Date by Lamont Sanford
http://overanalysingaif.blogspot.com/2015/03/review-coffee-date-by-lamont-sanford.html
Because too much is never enough. March 20, 2015. Review: Coffee Date by Lamont Sanford. March has been an exceptionally busy month for AIF, with one game being released after another. First there was The Lost Hound. And a Hail to the King. Prologue from Minterlint (which I haven't gotten around to playing yet), and now Coffee Date. When I opened up Coffee Date. Is heavily graphical (with around 650 images) and in several places images are displayed instead of actually describing the scene. Making al...

Over-Analysing AIF: July 2014
http://overanalysingaif.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Because too much is never enough. July 19, 2014. AIF Minicomp 2014 - The morning after. I've had some time to think about my doings, so today you'll be getting some more considered comments rather than the stream of consciousness that you had to endure yesterday. One thing that's struck me is how many of this year's entries are either incomplete or obviously untested. In past years one or all of Fucking Monster Bash. And Slim Spady Detective. Anyhow, for today's riveting instalment I'm going to start tak...

Over-Analysing AIF: July 2015
http://overanalysingaif.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Because too much is never enough. July 9, 2015. Review: Dreaming with Elsa by Tlaero and Mortze. I must admit to having mixed feelings about Tlaero's past games. The original Keeley game was ground-breaking when it was released, combining the basic 'virtual date' format with the idea of forming an actual relationship between the two principals. It got its own spin-off in the form of Daydreaming with Keeley. Unlike most HTML dating games, Dreaming with Elsa. Or DwE, as I'm going to refer to it) has a plot...

Over-Analysing AIF: Mini-review: Enticing Ella by BeanBean
http://overanalysingaif.blogspot.com/2015/03/mini-review-enticing-ella-by-beanbean.html
Because too much is never enough. March 11, 2015. Mini-review: Enticing Ella by BeanBean. Is a Twine game by BeanBean that was released several days ago. As of the time of writing, it hasn’t received much of a reaction, which I think is partly a result of it being over-shadowed by The Lost Hound. And partly because the author described it as having "many flaws". Anyhow, I’ve played it through a couple of times, so here are my thoughts. The big problem for me was that the title was a misnomer. Ella is...

Over-Analysing AIF: Review: The Lost Hound by Palaverous
http://overanalysingaif.blogspot.com/2015/03/review-lost-hound-by-palaverous.html
Because too much is never enough. March 10, 2015. Review: The Lost Hound by Palaverous. Is a TADS 3 game by Palaverous that was released last weekend. I've played through it several times now and, having slept on it, here are my impressions. Was supposed to be. The appearance of a sword at the end suggested fantasy, but until then I was getting a science-fiction vibe (which returned once said sword started talking like a computer). What brought me back is the fact that The Lost Hound. Doesn't to any grea...

Over-Analysing AIF: April 2015
http://overanalysingaif.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Because too much is never enough. April 25, 2015. Make love not war. What is it good for? That's a question I'll be trying to answer in today's look at combat and combat systems in AIF. The number of AIF games that include combat systems of some kind seems to be on the rise. The most recent (and the proximate inspiration for this post) was The Lost Hound. By Palaverous Minstrel. But prior to that there's been Pervert Action Future. By BBBen, several of the Gifts of Phallius games, The Tesliss Equation.

Over-Analysing AIF: October 2014
http://overanalysingaif.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Because too much is never enough. October 13, 2014. It's probably pretty obvious by this point, but this blog (along with its sibling, AIF Sans Mystery) is on vacation for the foreseeable future. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main one is that over the last year or so I've found it increasingly difficult to come up with AIF-related subjects that a) I'm actually interested in writing about; and b) I haven't already covered.
