Playing the game:

This game is a long and challenging text adventure. Most experienced players of interactive fiction will take around 15-25 hours to complete this game.  At 360,000 words, this is one of the largest games ever written in the Inform system.

The difficulty level of this game was designed for those who are already familiar with parser-based interactive fiction and its conventions. If you’re not familiar with what the commands INVENTORY or X ME would do, I recommend you try a shorter adventure first; recommended resources for finding shorter games include the Interactive Fiction Database and the Text Adventure Literacy Jam games.

This game works with most screen readers and many players who are visually impaired have found it to be enjoyable.
