Cool idea and old school text adventure. Really creepy vibes throughout and I really liked the ending. Good job!
This was so old school and I LOVED IT. It reminded me of this other game called Buddy Simulator 1984. Really cool game and interesting story. I wish the jam star rating system let us have more flexibility in stars when submissions don't have one of the rating criteria (Voice Acting).
It's a fun headscratcher with a clear atmosphere but I wish it were a bit more obvious what keyword actions Adam can take because it can be a bit annoying to get him to do what you want.
Hey CuteShadow, thank you for playing our game and the feedback! The commands and objects/locations are always defined in gray, but you're right, that could be designed a little better!
