A quick and intuitive game with relatively easy puzzles. The location descriptions were relevant, but not overly detailed, and written with excellent spelling and grammar (much appreciated!) A great intro to text adventures, and a fun play for more experienced players. I really enjoyed it!

This isn't a particularly challenging game -- I finished it in under an hour -- but it is well-written and atmospheric, and I enjoyed playing it. The game-play runs smoothly with no glitches and the solutions to the puzzles are often helpfully signalled in the object descriptions and responses. This would be a good choice of game for somebody just starting to play text adventures.
