Ord. Good. Buy…
Seriously though, Ord is a minimalist text adventure. You are given a word, and two choices, then a one word response. Like this:
Despite this, Ord can present a complex and layered narrative despite using minimalist text. This is most apparent in the Foul Things story, where you are child trapped in a cell and have to get away from a monster. It was very atmospheric.
There are five stories to play in Ord, including Foul Things. Quest, where you leave your house to kill a warlock in a tower. Dimensions, where you world jump through portals. Worlds, where you play god and create a world. Finally, there’s Heist, where you commit and bank robbery and escape.
All five stories are large and complex and somewhat randomized. For example, in Quest, you will always encounter a dungeon but what happens in the dungeon changes every game. Furthermore, there are a list of unique achievements that you can earn based on what you do in the game.
So to summarize, Ord. Good. Buy.
Game. Reviewed. End.
Overall: Ord. Good. Buy.
Verdict: Must Play
