Sorry, MS-DOS is a new technology that I have not yet mastered. Maybe in the future, when more people using it. Sorry for you, being a pioneer is never easy.
A lot of grammar errors, something that isn't really excusable on a text game... I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't backspace my way on the text, which piled up all over the place because of my typing retardation. A very good idea and concept which became annoying fast (unfortunately).
Wish this had backspace input working, my dyslexia/crap spelling made it hard not to fatfinger commands. I picked everything up and LOOK'ed every room, am I missing something?
@Morgawr : Sorry, I'm French and my English grammar is catastrophic. I'll try to fix it this week.
@others : For the backspace, I am aware of the problem but I haven't managed to find a solution before the deadline. Alternatively you can use "delete".
I liked the inventory and items side bars. I wish there were common text adventure features (typing N instead of GO NORTH) and also the ability to backspace. The game would be immensely improved if the whole game wasn't in caps lock. Good idea though.
Nice job, it took me back to a simpler time and place. Would be nice to type things such as "W" instead of "GO WEST". Contained appropriate levels of potato.
Nice game! I enjoy text adventures from time to time. The interaction is a little unconventional. Things like USE DOOR should work, LOOK should also always list where you can go, this was missing in some locations. I tried 'eat potato', didn't work :(
The layout and the visual aspect are great. I didn't find a main goal in my quest, and I tried a lot of actions (I wasn't able to cook a potato with the mower).
Console game, didn't see one since a looong time ! How can we do more minimalist than that ? Improvement on text input (history, delete and maybe auto-completion) and a panel go different available direction would be great
Same surprise as GertJohnny : Use heart-potato in the kitchen : something happens too fast for reading : back to the beginning. This game seems minimalist, but I know it mean lot of work : write and describe everything.. Finaly maybe very time consuming project ? Nice compo, well executed :) YOU WELL COME WITH YOU GRAMMAR GUY ! X) (Why we dont use esperanto on next LD ?)
Whenever I pressed 'tab' in Firefox it resets for some reason. (Yeah, I couldn't resist using tab for autocompletion :p). Anyway, the concept is fine, but it could be more user friendly.
Seems competent text adventure... picked up some things including heart-potato, nothing seemed to stick out as a puzzle... maybe I didn't look enough. I would give the detailed "look" description for rooms on entry, only use simple description on reentry... seemed had to type look in every room...
Pretty small world :) I actually had a lot of fun typing certain things.
Fun things to try: USE INVISIBLE_OBJECT or USE CHUCK_NORRIS type: IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT UNKNOWN COMMAND I also used google translate on the french text on the magazine :)

Cooking a potato with the mower ?
Good job if you perform this exploit.
( in french mower = tondeuse )
And sorry i didn't had time to add some goals so ... you can consider this game like a comtemplatif game in text mode :P
