Hello.

I fixed the PUT CLOTHES ON WOOD case and also added some missing descriptions at "the Mill" and "the Bakery".

I hope you don't have any trouble playing my game on Windows based systems.

Cheers.

This was a simple but fun game, suitable for beginners! I think it shows that ADL is a decent engine even though the game could use a bit more polish. I wonder if there are interpreters for Mac and Linux too? I tried Gargoyle but it didn't seem to recognise any of the files. Many IF players have Mac these days and a few Linux too. As most engines can make games playable online, it becomes increasingly difficult to get noticed if you can't. So being playable on many platforms would certainly help. 

Here is a little bit of feedback:

1. I forgot that I should only use two words and therefore managed to break the game with a command like: PUT CLOTHES ON WOOD. This made the clothes disappear.

2.  Score tells me that I have 0 out of 300 points.

3. I cannot examine myself

Thank you for playing my adventure!

I simplified the scoring and you gather 100 points for each of the three goal items.

Unfortunately there are no ADL interpreters for Mac or Linux. You can still however play it in DOSBox using this archive:

The game is also playable on Amiga or Amiga emulator using this archive:

It is good to hear, that it works in DosBox. Then Mac users and Linux users can play them too (in addition to Amiga users/emulators)  :D
