Congrats on your submission! This was very nostalgic for me. I used to play games like this in DOS but they were always point and click to move. I really wish I could have typed the commands as opposed to using the on-screen keyboard. Figuring out WHAT to type took me forever. I tried several things that I thought should have worked but didn't. eg. Lift, take, remove, turn over, search, investigate. I did end up finishing it. Sorry you got sick, I would have loved to play more of this.

Thank you for playing and for the wholesome review! When I first playtested the mechanic, I kept trying to type verbs on my keyboard too! :D I added a virtual keyboard mainly for the mobile version, for pc version i should make it typable on keyboard too. I also learned that I should offer more verb options, not just one. It shouldn’t feel like a guessing game of what the dev had in mind and other verbs are technically correct too, that’s on me, I’ve learned a valuable lesson! Also, thanks for the kind words! I’ve recovered and feel good now :)
