Although
it sounds like an interesting game to play, I must admit that I gave up pretty
fast. This is a typical beginners game. There is nothing wrong with releasing a
beginners game. We've all done that. But this game shows all the fatal errors.
First of all, it has not been tested before release. Or if it has the author
is incredibly rude in not giving thanks to the beta testers for their work. So
this emphasizes the number one rule before releasing a game: Beta test, beta
test, and then again, beta test.
There are lots of spelling errors (something
that is easily avoided by using a text editor, even if your first language isn't
English)
In the first location I can pick up a door and carry it with me.
Even being able to open and close it.
I move north from room #1, to room
#2 by going north. In there I found a wallet which I took. It contains 10 coins.
I then dropped the wallet and walked north again and ended up in Room #2.1.
Trying to go south from Room #2.1 gave me the message: There's no route to the
south, only North and East. Which means that my wallet, containing 10 coins are
gone. Going North gave me the message "The door doesn't open. It's slammed
shut." which is fair enough. But when I tried going East, I got the response:
"nice"
Apparently you need a secret password in order to open the door
leading North. But the author doesn't bother to tell you that.
The author
switches between using I and you. >I gives you: I am wearing nothing and am
carrying your wallet.
The whole setup is just too messy in my point of
view.

This was a weird little game and no mistake, not to mention being remarkably
rough around the edges. The impression I was left with was that it was one of
those strange experimental games that don’t really play like a game at all.
On the plus side, it was quite well written. On the down side… well,
everything else. The first puzzle involved recognising a famous quote and saying
the author’s name, which causes a door to open. Why? Beats me. Strange
experimental games, eh? (Incidentally, OPEN DOOR and X DOOR don’t work.) Other
puzzles involve waking up a princess and answering her question, which were
fairly easy, if nonsensical, and one with a poor man in a prison cell, which I
couldn’t figure out even with the walkthrough command. To be fair, I didn’t try
that hard. This game really wasn’t to my liking and I didn’t feel any need to
persevere any longer.
2 out of 10 (probably should have been 1 out of 10
but the writing was better than you'd expect)
