Wasn't expecting a text based RPG here but I was pleasantly surprised. I got killed by otik and a goblin :*).
Definitely going to have a lot more runs on this one!

Ow my ears, that being said very appropriate sounds. I love that there is a text adventure in the jam and that is a good one to boot. excellent writing and the interface was really polished, awesome entry!
Really liked the console vibe of the game. It felt really unique. Unfortunately I haven't found a way of getting a dice.
Hey thanks. There is some help on the itch.io page. use the "roll dice" command and keep pressing down or left and right if there is a block to the side. You'll get the hang of it. Oh, but be sure to jump back to the main screen before the timer runs out though :)
The green CRT monitor effect sells the old school text adventure feel. However, I did have to deduct a star from enjoyment because 'pet dog' was not a recognized command!
Haha fair enough :)
Good game, but it seems impossible. There doesn't seem much you can do. Perhaps if you give more hints and objects, it will feel actually possible. Good work!
I've added the much-requested "help" on the main game page. Thanks for playing.
Ooh! This was a really unique entry! The old boot up noise, overall aesthetic, and the fact that you typed in commands to proceed really made me feel like I was playing an old choose your own adventure game! Also, I loved looking at all of the different messages that I would get when I did something that couldn't/shouldn't be done! Great work!
