A strange nostalgia for the times I've never been to. Unfortunately, I can't enjoy it that much. My limit is 1995. Bro, did you really use software for DOS development?

Nice job! Really dug what you did here. The game had a really cool atmosphere and old adventure vibe to it. The story had me intrigued - wish I could have found out more about it.

In terms of sticking points, I just had a couple small ones. I would have personally preferred if walking didn't continue once you let go of a movement key. The other one was I had a bit of difficulty knowing what I should type into the parser. Some suggestions about what you could type into the parser and how to structure commands would have been nice.

Overall, excellent work!

Very cool nostalgic entry! Put me right back in the 90s on the dos computer. It was fun trying out commands, and failing the majority of them. I had to watch a video to understand how to operate the boombox, other than that I had a blast and found it all quite intuitive. Some more background music/sfx would be welcome, but it's also part of the vibe to have very little audio.

Really nice game, I enjoyed it a lot! The puzzles were intuitive which is great because I wasn't stuck anywhere. The story and setting are quite interesting too. Some more sound effects would be nice but other than that I can't think of any points of improvement. Well done!

Great game!! I like the design and the game style!! Good job!! For me it taken a lot of time to finish it and I had to use a video of another person playing the game to know how to do a thing and progress, but I’m not very adapted to that type of games, so it’s because it taken me more time But for people than like and enjoy this type of games, they will enjoy it surely :D

I regret that I was born long after the period were these games were more popular - I really love that RPG-y text interpretation mechanic, and I really would love to see more of these games and made with modern tools!

I really enjoyed The Corruption Within and Elsewhere in the Night, so I had high hopes for this. I liked the wild dream logic and the ease of play. Most puzzles were pretty solvable just by analyzing whatever nouns were popping up when I typed look. As always, you've nailed the retro aesthetic visually but with a cool narrative that was worth experiencing. Good work!

Nice :-) - the EGA colors and the character's design were really able to make me jump into the past - I had some problems figuring out a couple of actions (I'm seriously rusty) but I liked the experience :-)

What a great artstyle!! Love the atmosphere here and the story, really solid design and game!

Nice little game. Love the colors. Some issue with knowing what I want to do but trying to figure out how to tell it to the game, but that's par for the course. I quite enjoyed it.

Great self-contained experience! Love the chunky pixels!

As expected, a very nice entry. I love the C64 look and feel. I got stumped at the radio puzzle for a while, but after it clicked it was a very nice one.

Ever since I played this with my partner I cannot stop chanting "Warp Cinema! Warp Cinema!" at him.

Great game, great sense of style and color

Fun game, really captured the old school Sierra graphics and that feeling when you solve a puzzle. Great work!

Love the atmosphere, the music is excellent and the puzzles are logical, not too hard or difficult, I only needed help for the last puzzle (thanks Ana Moon!). 

Overall, a great text parser game, really enjoyed this one.

Say it with me... 

You're not close enough.

Yesss! Love me some AGI text parser. Instantly ups the atmosphere to 11! Loved the off-kilter vibes of this one.  Chef kiss!

I liked the atmosphere and vibe of this one! I couldn't get past the boombox part until I watched ana's playthough...I kept using "drink" and wondering why it didn't work...

Probably it's just me being potato, but instead of 15 minutes this game took me an hour. I wish the gameplay was more understandable. Like, most of the time I had no idea what to do and was just trying all options I could imagine. Without screenshots I wouln't even understand what to write in the command line.

Overall I'd say I liked it more than disliked. Graphics, atmosphere and writing really entertained me.

This is very nostalgic, I really like the color scheme.
