I love this fast, clever game, October 17, 2013I loved this game. It is quick and clever. At first it is confusing, but slow down: read the text carefully and think about the situation you are in. This game makes very clever use of some classic IF conceits, including the notion that you the player may not be the character.
It is very easy to die and you will do so often, but you should be able to beat this game without any hints.
The only thing that was perhaps wonky boiled down to me misunderstanding how one command should work: I've put it in spoilers for anyone who thinks they are at the end who is getting frustrated. I was jumping to weird thoughts as I tried to figure this one out, and it boiled down to me just typing something incorrectly. I am not spoiling the story or any puzzle solution, just explaining the one bit of game interface that I missed.
(Spoiler - click to show)If you have to share information of some sort with someone, JUST TYPE IT OUT--don't preface it, don't include verbs, etc. Just literally type the exact info you want to share. If someone wanted your phone number, you'd just tell them the exact number. Treat this game that way.
I really think this is a terrific game, and well worth your time--even if you are skeptical, give it a try, and don't get frustrated if you have to guess the occasional syntax--while it isn't as robust as most games being made now, the parser will work great with a few tries.
