Hi, Also from what I've read on Audiogames, it seems as though all of Malinche's stuff is some kind of murder mystery or thereabouts. Sure one or two are good, but at least you look at Infocom, and you see they had several genres of IF; if Malinche would do that I'd be greatful.

I think the thing that narks me most about malinch and actually discourages me from playing is their website. Advertizing and telling people about the game is one thing, but I don't want to have to waid through page after page of ridiculous self congratulations and smug reports about how much they think of themselves in order to download and try their games. for me this has the opposite effect to the intended one and actually puts me off their titles. Beware the Grue!
