This has such a unique linguistic mechanic and I've never played a game like it - very creative! Once I'd gotten used to solving the oronym puzzles, I really enjoyed playing the game and exploring all the different rooms. A colourful cast of supporting characters too!

Pretty good, even if the starting pun depended on such a leap of pronunciation that I had to resort to hints.

Night of the Living Not-DeadI've just finished all 3 of your entries, and I think this might be my favorite of the bunch (maybe that's just because I had to check the walkthrough once for the others 😅). I had a seamless experience with this, enjoyed the word puzzles, and the Adventuron interface. Impressive to have implemented these games within the time constraint, graphics aside!

Beneath the Weeping WillowThanks! I think one thing that really helped was, I copied a *lot* of code from this one to the bigger ones. So that was a help. As was being able to auto-generate it and use speech to text.
Good job with your entry, too. I had planned to go back and look at the good IFComp entries I missed, and working through it definitely motivated it to get back around to your IFComp entries.
I've always admired the craftsmanship of your Inform games but never ended up actually enjoying them quite as much as I hoped. But this was really pleasing! I don't know if it's the charm of the Adventuron aesthetic or the smaller size making it less daunting, but it was great fun.

Super Halloween Horror ShowAmazing you could do this as La Petite Mort. Inspired me to look up the Adventuron website

Annual Country MarketWow, when I saw you'd submitted some LPM oronym games I assumed they'd be in Inform so that you could use your extension from Why Pout/Us Too, but no, new system! Super impressed that you did this in four hours! I love the pixel graphics, too, they're very cute.

Every day I get emailsThanks! I was able to copy over a lot of repetitive code & also generate a lot too with a script from an earlier Adventuron game & speech-to-text saved a lot of time too. (It also helped that I had the idea in July, so I never felt rushed & I could plan out how to produce code.)
Adventuron's coding is also simple by design ... I'd be interested in what you could do with it if you had a fun small project. Adding graphics is especially easy.
