The Forgotten Nightmare A Text Adventure

SCORE: 79

Family Friendly Gaming reviews hundreds of products every year. We have thousands of online reviews. With all of these products reviewed there are always more. There are products we do not have time to get to. A few months back we made a policy to heavily restrict the free apps. We were drowning in them, and most are not very good quality.

Every so often a free app comes along that impresses us. It captures our attention and we decide to invest time, and massive financial resources in covering it. The Forgotten Nightmare - A Text Adventure Game is one such product. I have not played a text adventure game since I was a child. I remember playing them on my grandfather’s computer. So this brings back memories.

Do not expect much graphically or musically from The Forgotten Nightmare - A Text Adventure Game. A basic reading ability is needed to play this iPhone/iPod Touch hand held game. Interacting with the environment can take some getting used to. The on screen joystick is on top of the text that needs to be read. It can be removed from the screen and put back on. But that becomes a pain after some hours.

The storyline in The Forgotten Nightmare - A Text Adventure Game is interesting, engaging, and has a Christ centered nature to it. The best part is The Forgotten Nightmare - A Text Adventure Game is completely free. It has no in app purchases, and no points where you have to pay to play. It does have a spot where you can donate to support the developer. So if you like The Forgotten Nightmare - A Text Adventure Game and want more of it, you can put your money where your mouth is.

The Forgotten Nightmare - A Text Adventure Game can be confusing at first. Trying to figure out what to do, and how to do it. Thankfully the game comes with a complete walkthrough tutorial. If you get stuck you can go to that walkthrough and it will tell you what needs to be done next. Figuring out how to use the commands and items is up to you. Once you get it, you are good.

Parts of The Forgotten Nightmare - A Text Adventure Game could be considered scary. I would bump the rating up one year, and say ten years old and older. It is great to see this genre of game being kept alive. Plus Chris Radford put a lot of thought and effort into this game.
