According to Cain

Actually taught me about something which I am now obsessed with so thank you!

Man, what a game. It sets the atmosphere perfectly, and follows through on all its ideas. It just rocks; there's nothing else to say. I loved it from the start to the finish. The puzzles are challenging but forgiving, but the writing is the real star of the show. It just oozes with confidence and mastery. Absolutely brilliant.

This is only my second IFDB review, so I'm going to reuse the disclaimer I used in the first one and say that I don't feel especially given to writing insightful reviews, even when I have specific thoughts about a game. (I tried being a reviewer in the '23 IFComp, but mostly devolved into writing limericks for the games instead.)
In spite of that, I'm a recently first-time published game author, and I appreciate when others take the time to tell me (and others) what they thought of my game.
I didn't really have time for game-playing when this game came out in IFComp '22, but as a fellow TADS 3 author, I wanted to come back around to it when life allowed and give a little TADS support and solidarity. So I did, recently, and I was impressed. I like the atmosphere created by the sidebar graphics and the Middle Eastern-sounding soundtrack. One of my favorite parts of the experience was taking in the whole what-if scenario in which the lead-up to Abel's murder seems very plausible, and one sympathizes with Cain's plight. I have no idea if that kind of material exists in legend or if it's all the author's creation, but I appreciated the ingenuity of the story.
The game also gets very high marks for polish and implementation. I hit one point (Spoiler - click to show)where I tried to LOOK UP IRON and failed the puzzle because I was required to LOOK UP METAL, which wasn't otherwise clued at other than through induction/lateral thinking. I mentioned this to the author, so it is very possible that this was accommodated in a more recent update.
All in all, this is an erudite, engaging game that deserves to stand out and be recognized. I enjoyed the experience that Jim Nelson prepared for us to partake of.
