I liked the world you created and the story. I like how the synths are people just like you or me but sexless... calling someone "it" seems so alien. I also struggled with the right verbs but I got through it - I know there is a subtle hint for the final action but maybe it could have been repeated in the object description? I don't know, maybe that then makes it too easy."},{"author_name":"Somnium","author_uid":"50228","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 7:59am","epoch":1430034840,"text":"Loved the writing, as well as the setting.

As far as I can tell anyway, since English is not my first language.\r - I, too, had the 'guess-the-verb' thing going on, but I've played only very, very few traditional text adventures where that wasn't the case.\r [SPOILER: The only way I got the tramp to carry me was by remembering that often, transit in text-adventures is handled 'underwater' as vehicles ... so I fed the command 'enter tramp' into the parser. That worked.]\r - It reminds me both of '9:05' (a very short game by Adam Cadre) on one side, but also of some short-form SF I read recently.\r - [possible SPOILER:] In one playthrough I had the description of the 'snapper' say that the message from my friend was still present, despite having pressed X."},{"author_name":"acro","author_uid":"21612","time":"May 5, 2015 @ 11:06pm","epoch":1430866860,"text":"Nice to see an old style text adventure.
