## What is Tally Ho by Kreg Segall?

Only a perfect servant can solve a perfect mess! Being the perfect gentleman's gentleman or lady's lady doesn't make you an angel. Can you untangle your employer's knottiest problems with elegance and unruffled grace? As the valet or lady's maid of Rory Wintermint, you'll go head to head with recalcitrant aunts, light-handed houseguests, manage a fox hunt and corral exotic birds!

"Tally Ho" is a 600,000 word interactive comedy of manners by Kreg Segall, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

It's England between the wars, and the 1920s are roaring! When your employer, a proper young gentleman or lady named Rory Wintermint is summoned to their aunt Primrose's country house Ritornello for a weekend, it's up to you to make everything run smoothly...or not! Glide gracefully behind the scenes to arrange everything from the flowers to their love life, or leave Rory to their own devices as you pursue crime, adventure, and romance! Will you lie, cheat, and steal to ensure your employer's happiness, or will you insist upon personal integrity? 

• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bi, and even poly.
• Help Rory sort out their love life, or sabotage it utterly.
• Solve the case of a mysterious sneak-thief--or join them on a crime spree.
• Aid spies, evade the law, calm flighty flappers, and unruffle Aunt Primrose.
• Win an Exotic Animal Show and a boat race fairly, or cheat!
• Dance the lindy hop, or a graceful waltz—or just tut disapprovingly. 
• Ride trains, motorcycles, zip-lines, bicycles, horses, and rusty jalopies!
• Jazz it up in the Jazz Age, or remain aloof and cool as a cucumber. 

You'll be swinging from the chandeliers or serving the canapes in this madcap, but altogether elegant comedy.

### 5/5 — :)

*2023-12-21, version 1.0.7*

This is such a cool game.  I love it. 
It’s well written, playful, engaging and a blast from the past.  Making me a bit nostalgic

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2022-01-18*

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve replayed the game so far to unlock multiple endings and achievements, I found new dialogue, endings and routes almost every time. The writing kept me hooked all day, I couldn’t stop reading. 

Couldn’t recommend enough.

### 5/5 — Charming and entertaining

*2020-04-19, version 1.0.4*

This is easily the funniest CoG game I have played in a while. The atmosphere is fantastically comedic and the game adopts many tropes of its era, which I found very entertaining. Mixed in with the laughter are moments of genuine emotion. All the little things are great too, like homages to other classic CoG stories, or the meta jokes made in the latter half of the story. Great read, and a very fun book to play through again and again. Can’t wait for the spin off sequel coming this fall!

### 5/5 — Homage to Wodehouse

*2019-10-17, version 1.0.4*

Brilliant story in the complex and comic style of dear old Plum. Every choice opens up the opportunity to experience a different and often surprising twist. I’ve already replayed it several times to get the ending I wanted and now I’m going to try out the other directions.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-09-17, version 1.0.4*

Much of the story line was lacking cohesiveness.  It read more like random, underdeveloped characters and relationships thrown together in one big incoherent stew.  What a waste of money.  I love Choose your own adventure stories but this was by far the worst with an ending that was lack luster.

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2019-08-27, version 1.0.4*

This is one of the best CoG games, I’ve played it dozens and dozens of times. The humor is great, if you like PG Wodehouse’s Jeeves stories then you will love this

### 5/5 — A MUST read!!!

*2019-08-08, version 1.0.4*

It’s so witty and quite frankly, one of the BEST CoG I’ve ever read. I love this story so much and have read it over and over and over again taking different paths each time and occasionally rereading a favorite. As an amateur novelist I greatly appreciate the witty repartee in this CoG.  I’ve become so attached to the characters because of how life like they are and how well they have been portrayed. Rory is a HOOT! I CAN’T believe the price is so low for such an AMAZING CoG. My only gripe is the occasional typo, but if you let a few hang ups keep you from getting this truly inspired CoG, then your truly missing out!

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2019-04-11, version 1.0.4*

Great writing, immersive setting, fun characters. As a fan of Wodehouse, this was exactly like stepping into one of his books. One of the best Interactive Fiction games currently out there, IMO.

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2019-01-11, version 1.0.4*

This is a very well written game with a lot of forks, you can play it over several times and end up with very different adventures. There are many interesting characters (including some you only meet in certain forks) and many options for romance but only if you want to go that way. I’ve played it twice through and there are still things I haven’t seen yet so may go for a third. Highly recommend this game.

### 5/5 — One of the Best

*2018-08-09, version 1.0.4*

Quite possibly one of the best choice of games on the market. Highly recommended.
