Really awesome work for this jam! Haven't played a text adventure in awhile so this was great to play, thank you :)

cant get the vines from the tree? the help menu ought to list more commands and keywords. big stuck.

If the text parser weren't inscrutable, it wouldn't be true to its retro 1980s roots, now would it? ;-) Try "take vine". I'll update the game to accept "vines" as a synonym for "vine".

Great throwback. Certainly enjoyed our time! Thanks!

This was a very fun game! I wish I got further, I got stuck with a score of three at the chasm. The art is very charming, and though I haven't played many games like this I was completely sucked in.

This really does capture the old school feel. Great choice of score, too.

I got the bone and the mushroom, but I’m stuck at the beast.

Developer

Maybe the beast is hungry? You could try feeding it something or dropping something for it to eat....

Ah, of course. Thanks.
