No hay mucho que decir de Ord. Es un juego simple, con una ejecución básica pero muy efectiva, y aquí la vemos retorcerse para adaptarse a todas las posibilidades que imaginan. El único detalle que no acabo de verle es el paso de una historia como World, que ofrece tantas posibilidades, a una como Foul Things, que las cierra tanto. Pero me imagino a mucha más gente empleando este molde para hacer cosas nuevas.

There's not much to say about Ord. It's a simple game, with a basic but very effective execution, and here we see it twisted to fit almost every option. The only detail I'm hesitant about is moving from a story like World, which offers so many possibilities, to one like Foul Things, which ensnares them. But I can imagine so many people using this mold to do new things.

This is an ingenious little idea. Usually the gameplay loop with interactive fiction is something like read passage of text > make choice > read another passage of text > make another choice etc. In this case, the decision to use single words instead of full passages of text enables a far higher rate of "choices per second" than any other interactive fiction I've encountered. It feels like the sort of thing its creators might have considered an experiment, but it's so good that it's accidentally a legit game.

The five included stories are good, but I feel like if more writers got on board it could be a really promising format. Here's hoping for updates. Or sequels.

Its pretty cool.
Not too much.
Not too little.
Go play ord.
it's very cheap.
