RON2 1/2: Fowl Play Download (2001 Adventure Game)

The Reality on The Norm (RON) games are a series of short games started by some AGS developers. The idea behinds them is that of sharing characters and setting to create a world that seems more alive than others. A character you meet in one game as an NPC may very well go on a quest him/herself in another chapter, and vice versa. These games are very short, and offer perhaps an hour or less of gameplay. But it's the continuance of the series, and the fact that new games should get released on a rather fast basis, that makes this series unique. Since the games are designed by different designers, they differ a bit in style from chapter to chapter. However, as they share the same backgrounds, characters and overall atmosphere, you'll feel at home in all RON games once you've played one.

RON 1 tries to take of where RON2 ended; hence the 'and 1 ' in the title. The Baron whose brother was murdered by the chicken in the last game, now vows revenge, and wants to bring the chicken to trial. Don't worry if this makes no sense to you at all... you really have to have played the second game in the series to understand the full plot. The '1/2' in the title also translates well how I feel about this game. It was a bit too short, it only had one puzzle in it (which was rather confusing), and didn't hold enough text and plot to keep me interested. By all means do download and play this game if you are interested in the RON games. But if you were going to skip certain games in the series, then this one would probably be your best choice.

If you download this game, or any other RON game, you should be aware that you're not getting a lot of gameplay for it. You will, however, be adopting a small fun game that has lots of brothers in the pipeline, and a rather alive atmosphere. And well... it's fun playing a short adventure game which you know you'll certainly finish.
