Went to save a game. It wants to save it in as a Glk file, but doesn't, so you can't restore the game. Tried changing the file names extension, but still not showing up. Running on linux, btw.

Discovered that the extension should be .glksave and then it works. The save function is not adding any extension though.

Thank you for letting me know! I'll see if there's anything I can do to fix it in the future.

In the meantime, the download package should also include a gblorb file that can be used with your preferred interpreter, which may have improved functionality.

BTW, since I have your attention. Is there a way to play it in just a text mode? I got the impression that there was from hearing about your game on Retro Adventurers.

I'm not quite what sure what that would mean. Do you mean just reading the text as a story with no input? If so, you may be interested in looking up the Club Floyd transcript of the game.

Otherwise, thee gblorb version of the game should be playable in any interpreter, including command line or otherwise, but those require separate download (anything that can play a glulx game).

I meant a way to play it just in text, without the gui. It's fine. I'm playing as it is.

If you ever want to avoid the GUI, an interpreter like gargoyle is useful: https://github.com/garglk/garglk/
