Thanks! I did see the link, but focused on the description and how to install Python, then I forgot. I failed to use the file provided with the Download button...  I think that the explanation about Python should be in a Readme file with the game file, or in a devlog. And that the URL should be more obvious, and not in the middle of all the text ^^

Anyway today i used the URL to play Pity of Thieves. The concept is interesting and the game is well done. I like how the texts appear, fade, and the fact that we can progress in the story with commands. It looks more complete than some of the other text adventures I could play in the past, but I haven't played a lot of them. 

I walked a lot in the town, continued to the south and south west, past a bridge, a forest, and got stuck at the confluent of two rivers. I see that it is easy to get lost (and the rotative symbol of the jam appears ^^ Where am I?), the world is vast and you have to be careful to the directions you take. Happily I took notes on paper, and could draw a quick map that helped me. 

However I ended to be stuck in the main quest. Naill gave me a Briony for Freda. I wandered for quite a long time without meeting anyone else. When I finally came back and found Freda ( she was very near from where we met Naill actually), she tells me that I can enter the house. However she keeps telling me that I can enter if I don't steal anything, but I couldn't find what to do, and couldn't talk to her. I tried to give her the flower. I could open the inventory and saw the Briony in it, but didn't find the command to give it to Freda. 

Maybe I will try again later. The game is rich and looks interesting, the story is well written. Well done! I'm sure I would find what to do by typing help, but I have to find the good command to use with the inventory. Anyway it was an interesting experience! Much better then installing Python yesterday :D

Cyber, that's great, thank you for coming back to have another go!

I'm really glad you got so far. It ought to be possible to say 'give the Briony to Freda'. Maybe you did that but the game didn't report what happened next.

At the end of the Jam I ran out of time and had some family commitments so unfortunately the 'win condition' isn't as obvious as it could be.

I tried 'give Briony', 'talk Freda', 'Freda Briony', 'give flower', etc. But didn't try something so obivous as give the Briony to Freda XD

Will give a third try sooner or later ^^
