A Standout Amid The Many Early 80s Text Adventures

Feel: 9/10 love using the boots equipment. and the beginning had a resident evil feel oddly. very basic and tacky parser, but somehow I stayed hooked and finished it! Crazy! Helps that there wasn't petty RNG based deaths, so you could focus on getting to know the area, the game mechanics, and the solutions..
Attachment: 7/10 Sorry this review was quite rushed cuz it's The Wire time! I'm glad I finished this at just the right time. Great game, one of the standouts of text adventures, and much better than a lot of the '83 ones I've been playing. If I'm replaying text adventures, this'll be one of em. But only if I'm doing them all: cuz games with a faster platform and more advanced parser would probly take precedent.
Completion: 100% Playtime: ~ 40 mins
