Frasse and the Peas of Kejick. Play it. I COMMAND YOU.

Not just because a regular reader of this blog made it, not just because it’s made with SLUDGE, and certainly not just because I got to be a beta-tester and my name is mentioned in the credits no less than three times, but because it’s incredibly cute and a lot of fun to play. It’s not ridiculously difficult, either.

Highlights for me were as follows: excellent usage of two extremely adorable player characters, each with different abilities; a puzzle in which you assemble a boat yourself, IKEA-style (and there’s an extra part left over!); a bar called “Casa Blanca”; and diuretic berries. Sounds appealing, doesn’t it?

In other news, I’ve been getting into some very interesting religious discussions over at the AGS forums, satisfying my ever-present intellectual needs for the first time in what seems like ages. They’re a great bunch over there. Could this mean that their engine really isn’t that bad after all?
