CCG writes - "Ord. is a minimalist text based adventure game that’s told three words at a time. There’s a prompt word and you get to choose between (usually) two single-word responses. After your choice is made, the follow-up word is shown. As long as you survived, a new prompt and choices will be revealed."
Gareth writes: "Ord. on Xbox One is a game that I hugely enjoyed spending some time with. The concept and execution are highly original with a great take on the 'choose your own adventure' theme. You won’t mind dying here either, because you’ll always be left with a smile on your face. With five different story arcs to play through, all very different in their themes and scope, there’s plenty to get involved in and these make up for the simple visuals."
Ord is a unique take on text adventure games with a minimalist use of words, visuals, and sound. Play unique stories with 3 words only!
Dave writes - "We make choices every day, including the one you made to click on this article. If you boil them down, they can often be simplified to just a few words. Work? Yes, No. Sleep? Now, later. This reductive approach to our lives, and the choices we make, is the space that Ord plays in."
I really appreciated this game. Fun for short bursts, weird achievements and it surprised me how well I was able to visualize the world using my own fantasy, simply using 3 words at a time.
This one looks rather decent I have to say.
