I quite enjoyed this game - once I figured it out. I found myself trapped for some time, but once I got past that, the game got awesome. I love the ending(s). All great.(Spoiler - click to show) My favorite is, of course, the part where you use the acid to escape. I love that former knowledge and understanding of all the tools at your disposal give you the answer to the puzzle. And the answer is very simple. of course, the whole fact that the player starts knowing nothing is slightly frustrating, it also leads to an excellent result :) certainly one of the best pieces of interactive fiction I have played so far. Good stuff! I look forward to readig more of your work.

I have to honest. I did not make it through this game. I was full of excitement when I started to play, but as soon as I typed 'i' and was carrying nothing of importance -- and later discovered this wasn't entirely true -- I became a little annoyed. I understand the reasoning behind this (because the player knows nothing at the start) but I found the handicap of this sort of play to be more bothersome than cool. The last straw for me was... (Spoiler - click to show)hiding from the guards. I knew I had to distract them with a noise and spent more than an hour trying to put together different pieces of spy equipment (voice transmitter, etc.) to throw them off. When I finally looked up the answer and saw all I had to do was throw a metal object, I decided to stop playing. In other words, there seemed to be endless combinations of how I could distract the guards, yet none of them worked -- which disappointed me.
I would recommend this game to anyone who loves tinkering with gadgets and doesn't mind a somewhat forced-control sort of environment. This just wasn't the right game for me.
