It by jaktube

"Hello! Welcome to our testing grounds! Today we will be testing something we like to call It. It was once a person like you, and he still is... sort of.

My first problem was the text, Maybe it should be an easier to read one?

When It attacked me, I had almost no seconds to react. Perhaps instead of timing it, have more commands such as run [direction], and hide in [object]?
And then when It comes into that room to attack, he would open a random object to look for you, but only one.

well it didn't give much time to react when it came to seeing iT but it was suspenseful and fun you should raise the time cos it doesn't give much time to react but other than that fun and crazy

Although I died it was fun and suspenseful. I loved it and will most likely play again. It was kinda.....weird though,but I Like weird.

You're the best, thank you. But how to use this font, when you make a game book?

I will help you with that question. The base font (font that is just writing/explanation only) is "'Lucida Console' , Monaco, monospace". The web font doesn't matter/appear here. If you want to create a game using this font, the easy way to do it is select 'game' tab on the tree, then select the 'Display' tab, then set the Gamebook style to 'retro'. This will automatically set the fonts for you. Also, jaktube used a smaller font size for his game. Hope I helped!

Great atompshere, I enjoyed my first time playing it. It was weird though, that some commands wouldn't work. Anyway, I like it. Hope you update more though, in the future.

One bug I found: when you enter sit on bench in the room with bench, there is no response of any kind. No error message or any other text.

Also, a couple of grammar issues: many objects start with capitals even though they shouldn't, and the curdled milk object has an incorrect prefix.

Otherwise, very good game.

Eat Yogurt, tomato, steak, etc and drink coffee and water to reduce your injuries.
Key 3 from hangar can be used on the east car in the lot to WIN.
To get there, either unlock the Entrance Door or crawl through the tunnel behind the desk in the basement (move desk).

Fun little game, like a VERY short Zork from the late 1970's/early 1980's!

That was a REALLY good game for your first! I love how the monster can appear in any room and rip you to pieces! Hurray! I made it to the outside of the building and I don't know how to use the car, though...
