Not Worth Playing!, October 24, 2013
by Tristano (Italy)

Surely it is a speedy IF — took about 3 minutes (40 odd turns) to complete.

But fun? Not at all. There is no story, just a bunch of poorly described rooms of abstract nature. Can't even say there are puzzles in the game: you just move around, examine the very few items you stumble upon and then, by chance (ie: if you carry out in the right place one of the very few actions you can actually accomplish) the solution presents itself to you — out of the blue.

It isn't clear to me what was the intention behind this game — all I can think of is a mere exercise in code. And even now, after having «won» I'm left asking myself: what have I won? There was no challenge in the game, nor was the prose stimulating in any way.
