| | SPAG Game Reviews P |
 | | Photopia's invention of plastic geography--the player in some instances may travel in any direction, but the direction chosen will always lead to a certain location--makes the world seem larger than it is, and while it does that very effectively, it once again lessens the player's impact on the story. | | | But Photopia stands or falls on the player's reaction to the story, and my reaction, for whatever reason, was tepid enough that I gave it a 7 in the competition. | | | But that requires more development of the character than Photopia affords: the player's involvement with the character is so brief that there is no time to warm to the part before the character starts rambling about the inverse square law. |

| | (beelerspace) » Games as Art; Photopia |
| | The game is what is considered “interactive fiction,” and while Photopia itself is significantly less interactive than others in the genre, it is probably one of the best. | | | But Photopia, which can finished quite easily in less than 30 minutes, is more. | | | It is simple to play, having read the instructions, particularly for those who used to play the old Infocom text adventures. |

| | Photopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Photopia has few puzzles and a linear structure, allowing the player no way to alter the eventual conclusion but maintaining the illusion of non-linearity. | | | Adam Cadre borrowed, with permission, elements from Opal O’Donnell’s chicken-comp game when making Photopia and asked to submit Photopia to the 1998 Interactive Fiction Competition using her name so that he could do so semi-anonymously. | | | He felt that his previous game I-0 would inspire certain expectations in players, since in that game the player character is a young college student who could be instructed to undress and run around naked. |

| | Photopia, by Adam Cadre (1998), the first almost entirely puzzle-free game. | | | Newer games, such as Photopia and So Far, have further increased the vitality of the interactive fiction genre. | | | Each of these systems allowed anyone with sufficient time and dedication to create a game, and caused a growth boom in the online interactive fiction community. |

| | If you're interested in giving InteractiveFiction a go, why not start with the stunning Photopia, which is comparatively easy (playing time 30 minutes or so, even for a beginner), very well-written (it's make a great short story) and can be played entirely without having to make notes (unlike many larger adventures). |

| | Roamer's Zone: October 2004 Archives |
| | I never played an IF game like Photopia but I have played games like "Oregon Trail", "Amazon Trail" and "Yukon Trail" in which you must travel across a certain landform/distance on a journey to reach a designated location. | | | I touched briefly upon interactive fiction games in my last entry but this one will delve more in depth into the games which we played in class such as Photopia. | | | Photopia is a really confusing game that took me about an hour and a half before I gave up on it. |

| | Although Interactive Fiction was certainly interactive, it was what I like to call “shitty interaction,” a series of pointless hoops the reader must jump through in order to win the privelege of enjoying the story. | | | I’m told that Photopia is considered the high-water mark of interactive fiction. | | | I tried it and wasn’t impressed enough to read/play for more than a couple hours, but it’s probably great if you like to solve arbitrary puzzles to unlock paragraphs of descriptive text. |
