A text based game. You're talking with a confident guy, but everything might not be perfect. Supposed to be kinda psychological-ish but it weren't so.
I'd say it's really hard to know what to do, unless you see in the source. I WAS going to have many more questions and alternate ways to tell them, but I started the game with 12 hours left so... At least I've learn something this weekend about game dev.
================================
Made with Java in Eclipse.
================================
I'm not sure if the mac and linux .sh files are working for everyone, and if you know what to do, it's just to edit the file.
JAVA ERRORS If you get the following message trying to run the game:
'java' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
The .bat file is incorrect (points to wrong .jar filename), the game however worked fine after changing that.
Very difficult, I could not figure out much without looking at the source. Some small tips that may help others forward: Ask questions in lowercase and use proper punctuation! (and even then I'd be surprised if anybody beat it without peeking at the source)
Couldn't get it to run. Opening the .jar file does nothing and opening the .bat file launches a very brief command prompt screen and then nothing. I'm running windows 8.1, if that helps.
Haha I honestly don't know how anyone will be able to complete this without the source code. But reading through that was kind of funny anyway (as far as the things you needed to ask to continue). I guess John has some family matters to attend to ;)
I managed to capture the message in the brief time it appeared: "'java' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
That was interesting. I have not played a game in a while that involved a parser. I recall some Sierra games having them. Of course, those were commercial productions, but they were fun. I miss them and this was a small call back to them.
I had to look at the source, I don't think i's possible to win otherwise. At first I thought it was a game where you had to guess a specific word he was thinking but that wasn't the case.

I love seeing textgames however!
