Magor Investigates… by Larry Horsfield

============= Links

Play the game See other reviews of the game See other games by Larry

============= Synopsis

You are Magor, court sorcerer to King Kelson Haldane, the young king of the kingdom of Hecate. You are in your chambers, having just had a herald bring the news that the king and Duke Alaric Blackmoon have arrived back from their journey to the Great Sand Sea to investigate reports of Xixon lizardmen being seen down there. The herald also told you, most unusually, that Kelson & Alaric will be coming to see YOU instead of you having to go to the king's audience chamber and that the visit will be informal, so no bowing will be required. You wonder what tales they will have to tell you? "Fancy that," you think to yourself. "The king coming to see me!"….

============= Other Info

Magor Investigates… is an ADRIFT parser, submitted to the 2023 Edition of the IFComp. It was ranked 64th overall. This is the 4th instalment of the Adventures in the World of Alaric Blackmoon series. (this is the first one I've played)

Status: Completed Genre: Fantasy

CW: /

============= Playthrough

Played: 13-Dec-2023 Playtime: around 30min Rating: 3 /5 Thoughts: But we investigate little...

============= Review

Magor Investigates... is a relatively short linear parser, where you play Magor, the court's sorcerer. Though the game is part of a series and a larger universe, it is not required to have played other instalments to complete this game (relevant information is provided in-game). In this entry, you are tasked by the king to work some genealogy magic and find whether the monarch has some relations to another crowned head. While there is no walkthrough, a comprehensive hint system is implemented.

Spoilers ahead. It is recommended to play the game first. The review is based on my understanding/reading of the story.

This was a quaint and low-stake little game. With the return of the King after a difficult quest, you are given the simple (though maybe tedious task) to trace back your monarch's lineage and hopefully find a connection to another royal family. But oh, no! the Archivist is down with a bad stomach ache and can't let you browse to your heart's content. Good news! Being a sorcerer, you have an extensive library, which includes a tome on remedies. Fix up the concoction, nurse the archivist, go back to your main task, and report back to the King. End Credits!

From the premise, and the length advertised on the IFComp website at an hour and a half, I... expected more. Even though I loved the cozy and low stake vibes of the game (with a non-existent difficulty, and super well hinted actions), I was done within a third of the expected time, having completed the 9 out of 10 tasks. The discussions with other NPC are triggered after an action, which you (the player) do not control/cannot change (you can't ask people questions). This is a bit of a shame, because those discussions are at times lengthy (had to scroll back up at multiple occasions), and could have been broken into multiple actions. As for the investigation, only one action is require before the task is complete. And even if the game includes many room, the engine does not let you explore much of it, as it tries to railroad you into one specific path.

Another gripe I had with this game was the visual aspect. I am all for funky and bright interfaces, but the use of this particular palette with the Comic Sans font was quite painful to the eye. And when you have long block of texts on the screen, it is not really comfortable to read. For this aspect, I was kinda glad the game was fairly short.

It was a cute short game, otherwise.

Stuart was in no sense a hidden personality; he was very positive. He would hold very strongly to his own opinion, but was perfectly prepared to argue and let someone else have another opinion. But he was a bit shy in some ways. I felt privileged to be shown the work he'd done at home; he didn't show it to many.
