I'd been meaning to check out more of Cloak and Daggers' games after liking The Excavation of Hob's Barrow so much last year, and finally got around to giving "Football Game" a go.

The atmosphere and music were cool, but most everything else fell a bit short. It unfortunately managed to feel slowly paced, despite only being a bit over an hour long. The puzzles were mostly ok, but just not that interesting. The majority of the game was spent finding a way to leave your house and then doing some errands for high schoolers. The narrative was of the 'purposefully vague so you can go back and piece things together' variety, but it just didn't quite work for me here. I needed a bit more to make me care about Football Game -- adding in some extra dialogue to build up the characters and fill out the plot just a bit more would have gone a long way.

At the end of the day, it just felt a little underbaked. Not bad enough to dissuade me from checking out Cloak and Daggers other games, but not really worth the hour either.
