Hello. This quirky adventure began as a demo for a SugarCube macro I wrote but the characters simply came to life. Play through to the end. It's worth the adventure, I promise.

I have played at least 3 hours. It’s a lot of reading (because text adventure, duh) but it’s fun reading.
This old man is so oblivious and silly
I kept imagining visual scenes in my head as I was reading, very fun
Ok I have finished the main story and got through more substories and stuff (haven’t completed the entire game yet)
The writing is really good
I can see the love poured into these characters & their stories :)
but also
///O_O///
It’s an entire adventure from start to end :)
Innovative aesthetics and a good concept of mobility, I had not seen it before.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
The movement system was what started the entire project in the first place — the story sort of just grew out of it like tasty cheese.
In the end, I think the system is too fussy to be released as a tool for other authors to use. It'll need to go through a rework maybe.
