Bufanda: A Tale of Three Ghosts

[JSH357]

Bufanda is a text adventure with some nice writing and a bit of a mystery to it. It's pretty no-frills, and not really that exciting, but I enjoyed the game for what it is. You play the role of a character who is visited by some "ghosts" and finds out what they are as the story unfolds.

The game has six endings, but I only found three of them during my time with it. It's probably very simple to get the rest. The story aims to be weird and a little spooky, and succeeds in that, so if that sounds like your cup of tea, give it a shot.

I do think that the game would have benefited from visuals, or at the very least some chilling music ala Hotel Dusk. Really, the only thing holding it back is that it's a pure text adventure, which can only be so exciting to me. The story's entertaining enough, and not superfluously worded like many of these games. I'd say it's a pretty good one.
