Now this was a nice surprise! Really clever approach to text adventures. I appreciate how different/experimental this entry was. With a bit more polishing, fix some of the null references in some of the scenes, this could definitely be published.

As for some more practical feedback: - I played for a LOT of days until game over, and I didn't understand most of the items / economy of the game - Does the initial choice change anything? - Some null refs on dialogues - "Press ESC to continue" might be a bit counter-intuitive

Good job on making this solid entry!

This is really cool, but I tried to talk to people at the Ant Colony and it seemed to soft-lock me :(. Also, the only supply I ever seemed to use was food. What's the point of the other things?

I only bought the one megaluma bulb.. triped and broke it on the first step! I'll try again now that I have a better idea of what to buy up front.

This game was super fun! A bit difficult but there was really really funny dialogue.

It was fun, especially the guy who comes to us (I don't envy him with that name)

I really enjoyed this! I've always enjoyed text based adventures and this was super nice. Like others have said, I feel like some of the other items really needed some more purpose, but overall was enjoyable!

Nice idea, I'd like to see more entries that are "terminal based" ! I found the event windows were disappearing quite fast, it was sometimes hard to get everything. I did not make it to the end though, the gameplay got a bit repetitive for me (not sure what some items are about). So I suggest working on that, for example a soundtrack could make the experience more immersive.

Good game tho. Simple, but dialog was great. Had a fun time with it, and hey - text-based adventures still work.
