Caduceus

About the Story

Caduceus was written in a day for Event One of the Second Quadrennial Ryan Veeder Exposition for Good Interactive Fiction, whose challenge was to create a game in Inform 7 with beautiful source code text. The code is written in the style of a rhyming poem. The game it compiles into is limited but playable, and technically also winnable—though it helps to read the code first.

Ryan Veeder's Judgment
9.5 points out of 10
This is extremely clever and I love it. I feel anxiety about awarding a perfect score, and if I look closely I can find enough small flaws to justify an assertion that this Entry is not perfect. Therefore I award Caduceus 9.5 points out of 10.
