You may download the game and play it locally in your browser of choice.

This game is a text adventure, that means a few things:

• You use text to interact with the world, most often in the form of simple [VERB NOUN] commands inputted into the command box (the area with a blinking cursor at the bottom of the screen). 
• Examining objects can reveal important details, for that you can type EXAMINE/LOOK [OBJECT_NAME], or X [OBJECT_NAME] for short. Some of the objects in a location are revealed clearly in the location description, ohters you have to examine.

• You can TAKE certain objects, which places them in your INVENTORY. You can also DROP them. There are specific actions you may take with objects, depending on the circumstances, such as USE [TOOL_NAME] or BREAK EGG.

    

• You may also be presented with choices, in which case you can type the choice number into the command box, or tap the choice you wish to pick.
• Other helpful commands are HELP for a brief review of basic commands, SAVE/LOAD as well as QUIT.
• In order to move from one place to another, you can use NORTH/SOUTH/EAST/WEST, or just their initials for short (N, S, E, W). You may also move UP or DOWN. You will be able to see these directions, and directly tap on them, in the location description.

This game was made using the ADVENTURON engine.

For the graphics I have used the Dalle 3 image generator, and touched them up in places using ASEPRITE.

The music is "Midnight Tale" by INCOMPETECH.

The writing and the coding have been done by me.

I apologize in advance for any bugs and typos you might encounter, I sorely underestimated how difficult it would be to write a text adventure and ended up with way too little time to finish it, despite the generous jam deadline.
