One of my favourites so far. I am always fond of text adventures and yours is great. Really well executed and a fair amount of depth for such a short time. You're right about the ending, did leave me scratching my head and I'm not 100% sure I fully get the connection to the theme but loving this either way. Well done and good luck!"},{"author_name":"RIPPorkins","author_uid":"111142","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 3:03am","epoch":1472698680,"text":"That was a cool game!

There are a few hints if you try and whip it, go east, sleep, and look. If those stump you, try "hint"!\r\r@squirrelbot: Unfortunately it is entirely linear.

It's a text controlled game where you lead an explorer through a perilous journey with plenty of surprise twists. The ending might also leave you scratching your head!\r\n\r\nFor the best shot at success, use short, imperative commands like \"walk\", \"look\", and \"eat\". If ever you get stuck, \"help\" should provide you a large hint.\r\n\r\nIf you're a Unix user, try using some of the more well known Unix commands. You might find some fun surprises.\r\n\r\nApologies for no sound. I guess this really is Ancient Technology!\r\n\r\nAny feedback is very welcome, and thank you for playing Endeavour.","title":"Endeavour"}
