I have mostly been working on another project this time around, but I threw together this simple twine game as a proof of concept of the idea of only having access to a single sense.

The goal is to escape the house.

Firstly, the concept of this game is absolutely brilliant. Wish I'd thought of that.

Great job in creating puzzles in Twine. It all holds together well. I laughed at the grue joke.

A nitpick: I can apparently feel the breeze even though I only have the sense of hearing. (That should actually be pretty easy to fix: just change it to "you can hear a slight breeze".)

Typo: "ith" should be "with".

A very innovative and clever entry. I had fun solving it, and not so much fun being jealous of you. :-)

Awesome idea! Loved the text adventure. Quite short though.

That was very entertaining and innovative! It also fits the theme very well! Good job!

Nicely written, felt a bit forced sometimes as to make sure you used the correct sense to get past a problem.

Love it, and the use of the theme is fantastic, took me a little while to figure out how to open the door, but love what you've achieved!!

I'm not good at this...

I like the "choice of sense" concept.

Even though the game was short, I still spent a few weeks locked up inside the house :,(. It seems like text adventures aren't my strongest point.

Interesting game, good job!
