If lack of polish bothers you, avoid this one; if you're so used to rough edges that you've learned to look past them, and you haven't tried Purple, you might appreciate the pieces of an interesting story that occasionally appear amid the bugs.

>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction

I also had trouble with a number of the puzzles, and was unable to figure them out without a walkthrough, but I can't tell if that's because of the stumbling English and buggy code, or the difficulty of the puzzles, or just my own denseness. On balance, I'd say that Purple is a very rough version of what could become a good IF vignette. After it's undergone a few vigorous rounds of beta-testing, you might want to give it a try.
