"Enter Shadow" definitely doesn't work here, September 14, 2020by deathbytroggles (Minneapolis, MN) Admittedly I am not a huge fan of poetry, especially free verse. Though if the imagery is evocative I can get lost in it from time to time. Unfortunately, the design of The Space Under the Window, while making for an easy game, results in an unsatisfying poetry reading. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Short keyword-driven IF where you change a room description, February 3, 2016by MathBrush This game was part of an experiment in IF inspired by a challenge to create a work of art with the title "The space under the window". In this game, you see a window, but you can't do anything to it directly. Instead, you type nouns or adjectives you see, and it changes the world to something different, related to that noun or adjective. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

No Spoilers, December 20, 2011by KCJ By "no spoilers" I mean there is no way to spoil The Space under the Window other than the player merging the mind, spirit, and the body together at the moment of engagement. Hints therefore are safeguarded in action, not in significance. Reading a walkthrough of this game would be redundant. Walking-through the game is the walkthough. Was this review helpful to you?

Essentially Interactive Poetry, April 27, 2009by Michael R. Bacon (New Mexico) One of my favorite sandbox gameplay interactive fictions. Rather than presenting a strong plot or developing fleshed-out characters, The Space Under the Window is an interactive free-verse poem with many different endings as well as paths to those endings. It is very rewarding to play repeatedly, even if one spends less than ten minutes exploring the possibilities. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Quirky & Mysterious, November 5, 2008by WriterBob (Richmond Hill, Ontario) "The Space Under the Window," is a unique piece of Interactive Fiction. It stretches the definition of IF to its very limits. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Short and Sweet, January 26, 2008by Ziixxxitria (California) I was pleasantly surprised with the interesting way the player interacts with the scene. It's very short, but I was able to replay it at least a dozen times without being any less amused. It is definitely worth trying. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
