Snack Time! is a 2008 interactive fiction work by Renee Choba, which she co-authored with Hardy the Bulldog, who also features as the player character (PC).[1] Snack Time! presents the interactor with the challenge of getting a snack while playing as Hardy the Bulldog. Hardy must complete a series of steps, each of the five steps worth ten points, making a score of 50 possible, in order to get the sandwich from the human owner. Taking place within just a few rooms of living space, the interactor must position themselves from a dog's perspective in order to successfully complete the game.
Development
[edit]Choba is an interactive fiction writer who has completed other interactive fiction works as well, coming in the form of "Stink or Swim" (2009)[2] and "History Repeating" (2005),[3] during which she collaborated with Mark Choba.
Reception
[edit]Reviewers explained "What makes the game so charming is the way Choba (the author) exploits the fact that Hardy (the dog-PC) has a set of concepts that doesn't quite match the human player's. For that purpose, a dozen words are worth a thousand perfect 3D-renderings."[4]
Awards and honors
[edit]In 2008, Choba and Hardy were awarded the Best Individual PC award at the XYZZY Awards Ceremony,[5] and Snack Time! was named 6th best interactive fiction work at the 14th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition[6] in 2008.
