Took me some time to figure out what I think you are supposed to do...
Game crashed several times.
The music is nice though.

I typed "cowsay hi" and then it crashed. Output: https://pastebin.com/i3HcSYJ0

There are two ways to interact: clicking things on the left or typing things on the right. I'm not sure if the output in the bottom is something I'm supposed to care about. It might be part of the game... Typing something and hitting enter causes you to be unable to type anything else, which is the main way to interact.

I don't get it.

Had a nice tune, I liked the idea. It doesn't seem to work very well though, as others have mentioned.

Ran into the same issues that others mentioned - I typed "cowsay hi" and the game seemed to crash. Interesting idea, though, and I'd like to see more.

Sorry, can't let a quality review, don't have enough time, just want to help to get out of danger zone. Overall i think game is good, keep going. Happy Holidays.

unfortunately your game is buggy. that's a shame, you should polish your game more next time. Cheers!

I do this for a living for I was a bit hesitant to play :P However, I'm not sure I understand how to play. Perhaps having a first "tutorial" level to show you a slow day and how to do things before opening up the flood gates with make it easier to ease the player into it :D
