Oh, this one’s delicious. I think this is the first time in this year’s Comp that I’ve laughed out loud with delight. - Carl Muckenhoupt, The Stack
The only thing I didn’t like about Academic Pursuits is that there isn’t more of it. Take your time, explore all that there is to explore, and you’ll see a fascinating vignette unfold before your eyes. - Joey Acrimonious
ICE CREAM FLAVOUR: Champagne grape. The immediate appeal of the grape flavour is laced with the poison of alcohol, making it sweet and deadly. - Interactive Licktion

I enjoyed playing this game during IFComp. One thing it does well is to use reflective choices to define the main character's relationships and motivations.
