On Windows 10 I couldnt start your game. It just doesnt open. Didnt want to try opening it as admin. So if you fix it, feel free to @ me.

On Linux you need to install .Net 6.0 to run this:

```bash sudo apt install dotnet6 ```

it doesn't open on windows 11

I played it on windows 11. Nice idea :) - I only managed to deliver package A and B. After that I was totally lost because the other keys are missing. What am I doing wrong?

@helen there’s does marked with “x x x” that Can be opened with keys. And then there’s chests that can be solved for more keys. Solve all the puzzles to reveal the final code. You get hints for the chest when you fail them

The game said Get Out If You Can... and I couldn't get out :( That said, I adore such TUI-based gameplay, wish the character would move a bit faster though. Huge kudos for preparing a Linux build! :penguin: :heart:

@pierogo I made a page with some hints [here](https://github.com/StefanHolst/LD53/blob/main/Readme.md). I realize getting the difficulty right is pretty hard. I might have made it way too hard.

Download link takes me to the 404 error on github site. The donwloads only started, when I logged onto my github account, but I took me a while to figure out.

Wow I love this kind of puzzles.

I successfully figured out to take the key in the description text but I got stucked later. So bad that my console failed to display some characters therefore I can't solve the language puzzles.

The morse puzzles is clever and fair to player. While the trap room puzzle really trapped me XD. I tried to bring a box into the room to stop me from reseting my position, but it turned out to be a wrong answer.

Nice entry after all!

@moebiusmeow I'm glad you enjoyed the game :) I'm sorry to see that the console failed to display the characters correctly.

It was supposed to look like screenshot.

Are you using windows? Maybe you need to change your console codepage. [Maybe this will help](https://superuser.com/questions/269818/change-default-code-page-of-windows-console-to-utf-8)

Unfortunately I don't have access to a Windows machine currently, so I can't verify :(

Requiring .NET for a terminal game is kinda ridiculous in my opinion

stefanholst 2023-05-05 01:29

@justslavic You're right. I updated the executable to not require dotnet.

smoky01 2023-05-05 06:04

Very good and interesting idea))

richard-baltrusch 2023-05-06 17:35

Couldn't get out of the first box :( (full-screen or not win10)

stephen-kyranakis 2023-05-06 22:41

Very interesting! I like the idea of playing in the terminal

wakobu 2023-05-13 21:00

We did it! Nice little game

bentglasstube 2023-05-18 00:18

All the download links are 404s for me unless I log in to github which is a bit annoying. Also on windows 11 it was very laggy which made it hard to play. Still, it was a fun entry and unusual to see a text-based game like this.

island-jam-2-group-3 2023-05-18 21:20

All download links give me a 404 :-(

pizzasgood 2023-05-18 23:18

That was cool. It took me way longer than it should have to realize why the morse code one was just repeating the same character, but it was so obvious in hindsight. :face_palm: I especially liked the counting puzzle. Would've been nice if that room had opened up a shortcut though, because navigating the non-euclidean hallway so many times got a little tedious.
