I did not go back to Planetfall after I got myself into a walking dead/softlock scenario. So I guess that makes it like every other interactive fiction game I’ve ever played.
It was fine and good and I was actually getting intrigued with the story but the pointless hunger/sleep/can-only-ride-the-train-during-daytime-hours game mechanic that led to the softlock just completely drained my interest level. The extensively detailed Trizbort map means that I could get back to where I was in probably less than 30 minutes, so maybe I’ll go back to it someday? I feel like listening to the DOS Game Club episode on this one will probably push me to finishing it.
Maybe.
