I liked that there were a limited number of commands. It made it easier to focus on what was going on and how to make things happen.

Bruh, were you not in the last game jam? Are we on the same wave length or somethin'? Also, my ineptitude for Interactive Fiction was a positive? POG!

You know what they say - use your weaknesses to your advantage?! Idk but I found it easier to follow with fewer commands. I am better at writing than programming, so I really like jams with writing involved.

Interesting game in two very short acts. The map was needed because the room descriptions don't provide all the exits.

I seemed to win even though I lost so I'm not sure if the glitched or I got confused with the story. Challenging with the limited parser but there is some personality to this game that could be developed with more time.

Nice work.

You win the war if you lose the competition. So yes, you won the war but lost the competition. I don't have experience with Interactive Fiction, and most of the time was spent on building the foundation of the engine, unfortunately. Thank you for playing!

Right, I'm going to go back and try and win the competition then. Forget the war, its my own personal glory I'm after!
