Interesting little text adventure. It would have been nice to have a bit more branching, it seemed pretty linear for a text adventure. Good Job

Pretty nice text-based adventure, short and sweet.

You could have use at least some blips for sound effects, its hard to enjoy something completely mute. Good work on the writing. :)

I enjoyed that! It's quite a compelling story considering it's pretty short. :smile:

I like how the story unfolds more if you don't just follow instructions, which what I did at first (not sure what that says about me :grin:)

You know, its intetesting. This game has more depth then i thought by first. Its short, but player has a lot of freedom in the way he plays.

Short but sweet, minimal but evocative. I've only got one gripe with it: it feels a lot like you used "roguelike" in the blurb to fool people into playing a straight text adventure. To be clear, I'm always down for a text adventure, but I've seen enough weak attempts at "roguelikes" in LD that the label has become a bit of a groaner for me. ^_^;

@ryusui evocative was exactly what I was going for! I used roguelike mostly out of tiredness/looming deadline but I like to think there's an element with loops through each robot too. :)

Text based games are very unique when it comes to storytelling. The only thing I wish this game had to embelish is any sort of soundtrack or small noises when choosing any of these options.

Besides that, nice work!
