How a Driftwoodglen write-up is made

There are no scores here. One number cannot compare a siege with a dogfight, and it would bury the only genuinely useful information in the process.

How long Driftwoodglen plays first

A fortnight of real sessions minimum before writing, longer for the games built on multi-week timers where one evening is uninformative.

Unpaid accounts throughout. A free route that stops on day nine is invisible to anybody who did not walk that far.

Four questions in every write-up

What the loop is with the presentation removed. What this game does that the others do not. The honest length of one sitting. The machine it wants before enjoyment thins out.

• Loads in a tab with no installer.
• Reachable in full without paying.
• Servers busy during UK evenings.
• Not repeating another entry's role.

What takes a game off Driftwoodglen

Waiting manufactured to be sold back. Costs hidden until after a click. An event schedule that makes a newcomer's opening week worse.
