AHHH!\r\rSo, when you get to the end, you don't get to read the ending bit before it jumps to the ending screen. I don't know how it ends! Noes!\r\rOther then that, solid writing and cool puzzles that take some work but are solveable. I liked it! Way to go!\r\rCould be improved with an ambient soundtrack, if that's possible for this kind of thing."},{"author_name":"tanjent","author_uid":"36394","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 8:07pm","epoch":1408996920,"text":"I had an idea about a text adventure for this LD but it didn't really fit any of the themes... So it's good to see that someone did one :) Played for a while but got a bit lost after the hallway\/lab and gave up ... will probably return and try again when I'm a bit fresher in the head. A big + is that the "quest desktop" helps with the typing and the objects ... would be even neater if the surrounding ui widgets could be colored and themed a bit liked your nice screenshot\/drawing!"},{"author_name":"hirsch","author_uid":"13747","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 8:17pm","epoch":1408997520,"text":"Interesting idea. I think the deaths occour pretty abrupt. However its nice to play and the web UI helps to keep track of the things around you.\rWell Done :)"},{"author_name":"jojocanard","author_uid":"24933","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 8:18pm","epoch":1408997580,"text":"I probably didn't understand how the site works : I could't get the code in the Greenhouse.

The GUI interface didn't work for me some of the time (e.g. the security code) but really enjoyed it."},{"author_name":"Ekilibr","author_uid":"29137","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 9:33pm","epoch":1409002080,"text":"Nice shot !\rBack to the basics of the roleplaying game.

It says journals but there is only one. And if you leave to the south and then come back you can still see the journal even though you already took it.\r\rSupercool you did a text adventure.

Needs a lot of time though. Don't know if there are still people playing this. Maybe adding graphics would be good."},{"author_name":"dook","author_uid":"18341","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 6:31pm","epoch":1409250360,"text":"Very nice little story :) It bothered me that I couldn't always substitute 'l' for 'look', kept just typing things like 'l gyroscope'. But that might be the program you made it in and not an issue with the game. \r\rI assume there's just the one ending and that I didn't do anything wrong."},{"author_name":"andrewkennedy","author_uid":"20990","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 1:40am","epoch":1409448900,"text":"It was refreshing to see a text based game! I'm glad that you have options to click on the right - I was never good at remembering the commands to type.

I didn't really feel like I'd gotten anywhere. However, I did appreciate that you gave us the answer to the Greenhouse puzzle up there... reminded me of Metal Gear where you're supposed to "look on the back of the box" to get Meryl's codec. Good writing in general, and it brought be back to the good old days of playing Zork :D Thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"arhpositive","author_uid":"11575","time":"Sep 10, 2014 @ 7:28pm","epoch":1410376980,"text":"Obviously still has a long way to go before it's finished, but it's a nice start.
