Glad you enjoyed it, R-Tape. As I said elsewhere, because Adventuron is so quick to code in, it was 'programmed' in just a few evenings. (Took longer to design than to code)

I'm going to guess that maybe you skipped the tutorial if you were confused by the mention of the witch when examining the tree. :)

Yeah, there were plenty of extra ideas I could've added... including ones to do with the pool table and things like a pair of trunks. There was almost a zoo section. :)

I think you mean R-Tape.
Whilst I did enjoy the game, that was back in August! :D

That's 2 in quick succession!
I think you should challenge yourself with one of the 80's adventures!
If I do have the bug, then playing a diabolically unfair commercial era text adventure would be the cure! Trolleymania and Deer Creek were short and probably easy compared to most. Any suggestions for a gentle next step?

Ah yes I did, though I did worry when it said "I hope you know what you're doing"! Is the game different for having the boot and bonnet in ones inventory?

No, that first section is just in there to teach the basics to newbies, so it doesn't affect the rest of the game if you skip it.

I recommend the Gerbil Riot of 67.
It's reasonably easy to make progress in and I don't remember any unfair puzzles.

Or you could wait for my new game. After about 3 hours, i've got 5 locations and 1 super easy puzzle.
At the rate i'm going, it should be ready by Christmas 2022!
