My father’s long, long legs

When I played the game “My fathers long, long legs.” At first, I will admit that game was going very slow. I had limited options to control how the game would play out, most of the time I was picking the only available option in order to continue the game. The story, however, started to get better and creepier as I continued. For example, one part of the story the girls “uncle” came to visit her dad who was down in the basement digging. When he left, the girl said in the story that the man never returned again. It made me wonder who the “uncle” actually was and why he asked to see the girls dad. The plot got interesting in the sense that as the dad kept digging, he grew taller and taller. My favorite part of the game was when the whole screen went dark and the cursor became a flashlight. I had to hover over the words in order to see them with my “flashlight,” and that was cool because I kind of felt like I was actually digging deeper. Also shortly after the flashlight cursor came along, the sound of digging in the background started playing. These two settings helped a lot with creating a sense of place and made the game a lot more interesting. Right before the end of the game, I clicked one of the options and I saw a long leg run down the whole window. I got stuck in a couples loops throughout the game, which was a little disappointing because it made me feel like there was only one end, but it was cool to reach the end cause I felt like I had won the game. Overall, I found the game interesting and a little creepy, the makers did a good job creating an overall sense of place.
