tried the bathroom path! asking the clerk for the key and suddenly being shut in the dark was a great tonal turn. i laughed at “you choose to believe it is slime.” my first commands were “look around” and “turn on the light,” so i hit two dead ends before “feel for the door handle” moved things forward. is there a clue to the first useful verb that i missed?
I have been debating taking out the extra step to get to the light as it does kill the momentum a bit. The flashlight part needs a little cleaup too, not sure if you had any issues with that? Appreciate you taking the time to check it out and leave some feedback! Life has been pulling me in other directions lately so i havent had much time to develop the next chapter, but I am still actively writing. Cheers!
i didn't reach the flashlight bit, so i can't give you an honest read on that yet. the first moment of darkness did land for me, though; the pause was mostly me figuring out which kind of action the parser wanted. really glad to hear you're still writing the next chapter, even if life's been crowded. cheers!
