How it feels
A throwback text-based puzzle adventure that feels like a lovingly crafted homage to 80s and 90s retro gaming.

What players say
Players praise this old-school text adventure for its humour, challenging puzzles, and retro charm with optional graphics. Many compare it to classics from Magnetic Scrolls and Level 9, though some find the limited vocabulary and guess-the-word puzzles frustrating. One reviewer completed it in 50 hours.
