An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

No offense to the programmer, but this isn't a game, at all. You can basically press the right arrow key the entire time, maybe occasionally press up or down to avoid a log.

The reason this "game" has 4.5 stars at the time of this review is because people like the story, which is truly amazing. The thing is, all of the credit, 100% of it, goes to Ambrose Bierce, the American Civil War author who penned the original masterpiece.

So to reiterate, this isn't a game. If you want to get the basic gist of the story without spending 20 minutes reading, then by all means, play. If, however, you'd like to experience something magnificent, something which stirs the soul and evokes inward reflection and outward exhilaration for being alive, stick with the short story.

TO THE PROGRAMMER: I mean you no disrespect, but again, this isn't a game, it's a visual retelling of the short story: an 8-bit recreation of the movie, but nothing more. You already know that adding the possibility for failure, some form of mini-game or skill-based game, or anything else which requires one to do more than just press RIGHT would allow your game to deserve the title. I don't think this effort is pure crap, nor am I angry for your attempt. I wish you all the best with your future endeavors.

An interesting, immersive take on the original story. Not a game strictly speaking, but a great, interactive experience nonetheless. Nice work!

Good story.

It was alright, but I was expecting a lot more to happen. There wasn't much gameplay to it, it would've made a really great short film.

I love this. I played it a few years ago, but I recently thought about it again and had to replay it.
