I had just played Fetter's Grim and Westfall (or Westport or whatever it is), as well as a few other Panks games.
This game has all the usual suspects: a village, a tavern, a cathedral on the west side of town with a nook to the north, jokes about the author being drunk or not being drunk, a hellhound that is in the first dark forest area south of town, etc. exactly what's in all the other games.
It doesn't understand 'X' or 'TAKE' even though other Panks games in the same year do. It's just bizarre.
