I had some troubles with this game, but I have troubles with every parser puzzle, so don’t read too much into that.

Most of my problems were with the final word. The clue was only visible from some places, but not other equivalent places (there are no spoiler tags here, I think, so I won’t say exactly what) but I think it should have been visible from more spots.

Nevertheless I persevered, and enjoyed. I liked the allegorical clues a lot, and the writing is good (ambiguity over the final clue aside).

One technical note. If you full-screen before starting to play, the background is black and the text is unreadable. I think that’s because the start screen has no background of its own?
