My Submission and a Thanks to All

I'm delighted to present my surrealistic dream scenario Oneironautilus, Part I: Sky Level to Wake Up: Paradox Jam! 

This was an experiment to see how far I could push the Bitsy engine to fulfill the "text-only" limitation imposed by the latest Bitsy jam. The result is a textually-rich island-hopping experience that harkens back to the sort of authors such as Lewis Carroll, Edith Nesbit, and other classic wonderlandian storytellers of old only with a modern twist! I also believe that it fits in perfectly with the spirit of this jam, dealing heavily in dreams, paradoxes, mysterious worlds and characters, etc.

If anyone decides to give the game a playthrough, I would be most appreciative. Classic text adventures in their purest form is not everybody's cup of tea, but if you enjoy getting lost in some satirical fantasy literature, then you might enjoy your stay in the world of the Oneironautilus.

Good luck everyone, and thank you to the hosts of this awesome jam!

Thank you for sharing this! It’s always awesome to see creators pushing the limits of their tools, especially under constraints like text-only. The dream/paradox themes sound very fitting for the jam. Best of luck, and thanks for joining!
