Struggled to get it to work, I like text based games, but seem to be issues when not followed sequence. I looked at transcript, far too long for a small 3 hour game, maybe shrink it right down give the user a quick win then build it.

I’ve chosen not to rate the game, because I really couldn’t work out how to play. whenever I took something or tried to interact with something I was unable to progress any further.

Hopefully it is just me being stupid.

No worries! Thanks for the feedback. It is a Text Adventure style and you need to type in commands into the prompt like in the famous Text Adventure Zork.

I always wanted to create a text Adventure like Zork, but I have to admit it was a challenge doing this in 3 hours. 

Hint:

Look at the transcript for clues how to work it out.
