> Oh my. I’m not sure how I feel about this. It’s a brief, solidly-implemented game with minimal plot. Of the five portable objects in the game, one may have been a red herring. I solved it very quickly without hints. The author freely admits that this was entered just because it would rise above the flotsam of broken and unpolished entries; sad but true. I’ve occasionally had the same thought, but I don’t think I’d feel right submitting one of my IF ‘exercises’ to the comp. After all, the exercises are supposed to get me ready to write something I would actually like to make comp-worthy. Well, I guess I can’t fault him for taking advantage of the reality of the comp. Also, kudos for the nice feelie.
