I think my favorite part of text adventures is the amount of imagination they invoke. Something about testing commands, reading the short descriptions and response really gets my imagination flowing, unlike, say, a long winded visual novel or even a book. Not that those are bad (I like visual novels in general, and books are fine) but they often tell or show too much for the same level of personal interpretation.
What I played through was interesting! SPOILERS ------ You are warned, stop here ------- I got as far as holding the little man, but couldn't really figure out how to interact with him from there. I did try to eat him though, with no luck. ^_^;
Nice work! Even if I'm not very good at them, I do enjoy these type of games.
