Talk:Ebgerd: The Rock n' Roll Troll With Soul/@comment-26480939-20161004003514

Hm, interesting! A typing/edutainment game with a classic rock 'n roll theme. Me likey VERY much. ^_^ (I'm a big classic rock fan, BTW. *laughs*)

Interesting how the game itself supposedly used the hypnotic effects of music and flashing colors to induce blackouts. Kind of like Polybius, in a way.

No overtly supernatural elements of any kind, which interests me. It's grounded in reality and it's something I can relate to, somewhat. (I played a lot of old DOS games growing up, myself. On an ancient Windows 3.11 computer we used to have, to be exact.) For some reason, the arithmetic part reminded me of this one math game I used to play on my old computer, but I can't remember the name of right now. I do remember it was from a floppy disk, though.

I kind of find the end a bit anticlimactic, though. No real closure was given as to what happened, other than the narrator being put into another blackout state, and that's just assumption.

Pros:

Images and other media are provided, has a good sense of unease in it, is relatable (if you're from around the time period these kinds of games were common in, basically late 80's to early 90's).

Cons:

Abrupt ending, no closure given, some plot elements get brought up and are never expanded upon (like the girlfriend part).

Is it enjoyable? Very much so. Is it creepy? Not terribly creepy as I would use the term, more vague unease.

Overall, I give this a solid 8.5/10 Some small improvements/fleshing out needed, but good nonetheless.
