Baf's Guide


The fearsome Black Wanderer threatens the land with darkness and sorrow, only an elf with the gift of Silent Song can stop him, yadda yadda. Old-school generic fantasy, with occasional misused words ("...it has no handle and no keyhole. How to open it, you surmise?") Starts in a sparse and reasonably explorable outdoors section, then drops into a linear series of locked doors and guardians where progress often depends on having poked at the right bit of random scenery in a location that you can't get back to. Difficult puzzles, some syntax-guessing; in one place, "examine room" is necessary.
