- This is really great - beautifully presented even though it's text-only, great puzzles which aren't too difficult to figure out but aren't exactly a breeze either, and a fantastic atmosphere. Enjoyed this hugely, although I didn't quite make it to the end because I got stuck!
- This is an amazing game. What makes it so special is that with all the limitations that needed to be applied (per rule), you crafted a great story centered around this particular treasure hunt which I absolutely enjoyed. The story alone built a dense atmosphere and made me hungry for more, so that I came back another two times to this game! Oustanding achievement!
- I genuinely felt like I was on an epic adventure! Moving into lower and lower locations created a feeling of delving ever deeper into the game. I really liked how some non-Treasure inventory items were also coloured, it was a nice detail. The puzzles were clever, sometime a bit too tough for me! Sometimes I knew what I wanted to do but didn't come up with the correct command. Overall an amazing entry. I hope to see more games from you in the future!
- In the fixed time I allocated to playing the games I was only able to begin digging into this one and I am sure I will get my spade back out after. It felt like playing Tomb Raider and I loved the use of a treasure to solve a puzzle, easing you into the story.
- Very nice game, really enjoyable, quite classic in its form but still very nice. Large map, fun to explore, interesting puzzles. This game is able to keep occupied the player for a while.

This is my first Jam. Loving it. Got very excited by using Adventuron subsequently I've spent longer and made the game bigger as a result. Addictive stuff.
