The initial tutorial felt a little intrusive; I was kind of flooded by text. It auto-fired text whether or not it was helpful -- for example, in the Ancient Oak Grove I decided to examine the trunk before talking to Arturo and the hints still acted as if I had talked to him.
The changing parser prompt also initially distracted me more than it engaged me. I kept expecting it to prompt me to respond to something specific because of its wording (e.g; "What do you seek in the hidden light?" or "The seeker must choose... what is your choice?").
Really appreciated the flavor text for the examines; basically every noun that came up worked when I asked for it. The way the environments were described were pretty evocative and I enjoyed finding information by examining specific things in the environment.
I ultimately had to give up with only 70 points as I was utterly confused about where to go next. I found 2 of the final items but couldn't work out how to use the rest. Maybe I'll come back to it and figure it out when I'm feeling more patient.
