Reception

[edit]

John Harrington reviewed Death By Diet for Games International magazine, and gave it 2 stars out of 5, and stated that "The BePUZZLED concept promises more than it delivers. I was expecting the story to provide clues that would help me complete the puzzle, rather than a puzzle that would help me make sense of the story."[1]
