Burglary! by Himself
'Burglary!', the game that puts you inside a house with the intent of finding (and stealing) a most precious item. Stealing has never been more text-based!

It seems like it would be fun, but I'm incredibly annoyed by the error commands I get. 'What? That makes no sense. Try asking for 'help'? Open window doesn't make sense? Better yet... open door?
Perhaps I would enjoy it more if it were an older version? I don't know. Seems like it would be fun, but I quickly got annoyed with the limited and specific interaction I could have with the game.

Never mind, as I was looking at some art to clear my mind, I realized my oversight. That'll teach me to actually read stuff that pops up on screen...
As for the review:
I found this to be just hard enough to be fun to play, just how I like it.
Then why only 3 stars, you ask?
Well, as Steve pointed out, there are some objects that get removed from your inventory when you examine their hiding place for a second time.
Furthermore, I found the fact that I had to spell out entire objects very annoying for example: I had to type ''something...'' instead of ''something''.
I think that's something that's very easily overlooked by players.
As for the puzzles: There were some clever ways of hiding key objects around the house, and they were solvable with just a little logical thinking.
And I personally found the books and the note a very nice touch!
