About the Game

Try and figure out this strange little command line game. Use all the items in your inventory and outventory to solve each level. Take each mechanic a bit past its conclusion and learn a little bit more.

With zero secrets you can take your time and solve all 70 mostly short levels in this completely linear game.

Made entirely from scratch, so you can get to experience all the quirks and consequences that come along with that, including:

  • strange controls

  • weird music

  • unfamiliar game mechanics

  • ascii art

  • a general sense of apathy

  • a full user manual

  • a full copy of the game code for you to look at

The game includes several vaguely unique items. Here are all of them:
