"I agree with Emily." [+]"I agree with Emily." --David Cornelson... "A near-flawless Infocom pastiche" [+]"A near-flawless Infocom pastiche: Among other things, it frequently nails the Infocom sense of humor (living at the intersection of the overtly corny and the drily intellectual). All it needs now is some of the tragic wierdness of the GUE, and it'd be a genuine Zork." ( ) --Ghalev... "Captures a lot of..."

"A mix of Zork and..." [+]"A mix of Zork and Enchanter, with cave-crawling and "spells" (sheet music) to collect and use when appropriate. Solid, fun, clever, leaves you to blunder your own way through it. All the things I associate with Infocom." ( - Full review) --Peter Pears... "Wryly narrated..."

"Puzzles and exploration on parade" [+]"Puzzles and exploration on parade: The writing is too laced with irony to be very "Infocom" in style, but the gameplay, wedded to a goodly amount of (modern) wit, are an excellent shout-out to what makes the basic Zorkian structure strong and worthy of enduring."

It's a proper Zork mini-adventure, complete with the right attitude, right humor, and one of the original implementors." ( - Full review) --Ghalev...
