Fun! Feels like a classic text adventure with great atmosphere. I really like the drawings in the game, wish I could find more text based games that merge the text with simple visuals to help picture the scene. Nothing too detailed though, that can kill the overall mood. This one gets it right (imo).

You have 20 seconds to determine your fate.
