I enjoyed wandering around this game. It's big for such a short time to put it together! Still haven't finished it but I'd like to see where it goes. I didn't love that you couldn't continue searching the room first off. I got the key and figured that was all there was to find and couldn't work out what to do next until I checked the comments. The map was handy.
Couple of bugs. I think I triggered the devil's advocate encounter before I met him in the other bar and couldn't work out what bargain he was talking about until later (and then couldn't go ahead with his deal if I wanted to I'm guessing.) In the shed: Says route out but only down is available. In your appartment: it says exit to the west but you need to go east or down. In the sculpture garden it says exit is east when there's no east exit.
I quite liked the premise of the game, made me think about Warren Spector's One City Block RPG (on a smaller scale obviously :) ).
Stewart's tips below helped me get around (and finish the game...) because I'm not really fluent in ADRIFT, but I overall enjoyed the experience, although I was quite lost a lot of the time. That was spooky in itself...
Good job coming up with all that content in so little time!
I had a little trouble wrapping my head around this one, maybe just because I'm not used to ADRIFT games. I had to open up the source to figure out I could type in "make your meeting," for instance--although in retrospect the CAPS LOCK on that phrase should have made it pretty obvious!
A bigger problem for me was the search feature in the bedroom. I didn't realize I could search multiple times at first, so I just kind of wandered around stuck until I restarted and happened to find the iron key on my first try the next time. After that, it was clear that there were Things I Would Need, and I was able to play without difficulties.
Once I got the hang of it, the game went smoothly enough, and I enjoyed my tour of Minneapolis--and rather stranger locales! (Also, I felt like there was quite a bit of content here for petit mort. Nicely done!)
glad someone figured it out!
