Not even a game. Is reading the illegible text the challenge here?
I guess if you want to waste ten seconds and haven't felt confused or annoyed in a while then this might be what you need.
THE REVIEW AFTER THIS ONE CONTAINS SPOILERS, hence all the empty lines in this one. I don't actually have a lot to say about the game; it's a neat idea and I like the writing style, but, as it says in the description, spoilers make the game kind of boring and pointless.
Only 3/5 as I would have liked to be able to explore the setting a little more before learning the twist, and I felt that the ending itself was a little lackluster, even though I did like the idea.

Short, simple, easy to work through but rewarding, and oozing charm - this adventure feels more like The Hobbit (the novel) than The Hobbit (the text adventure). I was a little surprised to see the game end when it did - not because of the length of the game, which I see as a strength for a lighthearted adventure like this, but because I found it a little anticlimactic; one extra encounter, just to say "you're almost there, keep pushing on!" would have made this a clear 5 stars.
