A short story about a Khan in the heart of luxury, December 5, 2024
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This is a relatively brief Inform game written with lush language and originally entered into Spring Thing many years ago.

Every word is dripping with luxury. You are a Khan and have excellent food and wine and everything you'd ever want at your feet.

The game is pretty short, but has some surprising events in that brief time. I'd say that it's highly unusual for both its subject matter and its style of language.

It is mostly polished, with a distinct voice, but some default responses sneak in that contrast harshly with the desired tone. The interactivity is also difficult to guess at times.

However, it is descriptive and captured my fancy, and I could see myself playing again.
