I found the "Salem Witch Trials Interactive" to be quite underwhelming. The game lacked depth and failed to provide a comprehensive understanding of this historical event. The interactive elements were limited, and the choices I made didn't seem to have much impact on the outcome. Additionally, the graphics and user interface were outdated, which made it even harder to stay engaged. Overall, I was disappointed with the game's lack of educational value and its failure to captivate my interest.

I was really excited to explore the Salem Witch Trials through an interactive game, but "Salem Witch Trials Interactive" fell short of my expectations. The game felt too simplistic and didn't do justice to the complexities of the actual historical event. The choices I was given seemed arbitrary and didn't give me a sense of control or agency. Furthermore, the narration and dialogue were repetitive and lacked depth, making it difficult to stay engaged. I would have loved to see a more immersive and informative experience that truly reflected the gravity of the Salem Witch Trials.

3) Emily - 3/5

While "Salem Witch Trials Interactive" had some interesting aspects, it ultimately left me feeling underwhelmed.

The interactivity was limited, with choices that didn't seem to have a significant impact on the outcome.
