I get the fact that a walking simulator mixed with a text-based adventure is supposed to be boring, but you could have thrown in at least something more. The only command accepted is step or s, there's no funny easter eggs or any other commands whatsoever. Maybe take a few more hours to add some witty humour or something other than typing the same word 50 times and random narration that has nothing to do with anything. For 3 hours I suppose it's fine, but the player gets no sort of experience out of it.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ilezhnin","author_uid":1029662,"time":"2018-04-22T02:27:44Z","epoch":1524364064,"modified":1524364064,"text":"Interesting concept but boring as hell","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"wsKilljoy","author_uid":"1055525","time":"2018-04-22T13:40:04Z","epoch":1524404404,"modified":1524404404,"text":"People are saying it's boring- maybe a little, but I found it quite fun and amusing.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Iluvatar","author_uid":"1004018","time":"2018-04-23T07:32:25Z","epoch":1524468745,"modified":1524468745,"text":"It was more of a journey than a game, but it didn't make it less enjoyable.

Why am I stepping? step. What propels me forward? Step. What did I do with my life? Step. What series of decisions in my life led to the point that I was doing this with my Saturday? Step.\n\nMore seriously, it's super funny - the text is hilarious and as long as you approach this game with a sense of humour its good funny XD Welcome to the pond. *kazoo*","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Honest Dan","author_uid":"1052174","time":"2018-04-28T13:01:42Z","epoch":1524920502,"modified":1524920502,"text":"Considering its a text-based game, you really managed to get across your personality and humour and I really enjoyed the time it took to play.
