  It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

    Like, what kind of eating? I’m ok with the lights out. Raises the suspense…

    Consider whose fault it could be: not a torch or a match in your inventory

  I should really give Zork an earnest try. Every few years I pick it up for like 10min, thinking "Wow, this is cool", and then drop it.

    It's a ton of fun. Honestly, I suggest you play it the way I did as a kid, and bring out a bunch of paper and pencils and start drawing your own maps by hand. There's something magical about that process, imo.

      That sounds like the way to do it. Last time, I read some posts where people were using premade maps online, and my first thought was that it would defeat the purpose. I want to feel like an explorer.

      Back in the day, it sometimes took me YEARS to solve an Infocom game. No internet meant no help. One had to send away for clues in the mail.

      IIRC, I used to do it in Excel. It was GRUEsome and I didn’t get very far.
