It's always cool to see people making text based/imagination oriented experiences.

There was also some inconsistent formatting (missing newlines on some output, some cases where newlines between choice options were followed by a space while others weren't) and a few typos. These are minor, but since non-linear text is very difficult to proof read, it's good to catch that stuff as early as possible.

It might also be a good idea to santise inputs a bit - it was difficult to know whether I'd reached the end of what had been written so far, or if I had just put text in where a number was expected.

If you keep working on the project, good luck. I'd be interested to know where that treasure map leads!

Hi! As per the jam's rules, I am intending to remove entries without Linux builds before the end of the day. Part of the jam is a focus on packaging and supporting the Linux family of operating systems, and while source code is definitely appreciated, it doesn't show effort along that axis.

If you end up doing a Linux build after the submission is removed, get in touch and we'll be happy to give a URL for resubmitting!

Whoops! I hadn't extracted the zip yet and misread the instruction. Thanks for including a built version with your submission ^_^
