Look: 8/10 Surprisingly nice. Great Apple II colors and an interesting UI that gave me future adventure game feels.

I'm a sucker for these Apple II colors

Sound: 6/10 Mostly just annoying, but occasionally the sound would surprise me with its creativity (with so little). Not included in the score.

Play: 7/10 Very interesting to see predictive text so early (tho it's quite clumsy... I wondered if the inaccuracy was intentional to make players second-guess the prediction, e.g. "nail planks to..." This is quite elaborate for the text adventures at the time--didn't expect that. Felt like a true adventure with distinct areas (and indeed, certain events could only happen in certain areas etc).

Feel: 7/10 I went in not expecting much but wound up being quite committed. I was nervous about how long it seemed to be, and indeed, that proved to be its downfall for me this playthrough: I didn't have the time, nor did it quite strike me enough to push through. The UI and look almost did it, but the gameplay was basically a text adventure extrapolated upon a broader adventure game context with a cool inventory UI that still, in the end, was just another usual text adventure inventory feature. Plus, the predictive text got frustrating, since it was so sporadic and sometimes inaccurate.

Attachment: 7/10 A little over-complex for my taste, but very advanced and well-done. I think I might try this again to see if I can get further (more so will want to the next time).
