Don't Eat the Kid

Don't Eat the Kid is a one-turn interactive fiction game inspired by Aisle (http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=j49crlvd62mhwuzu) and Pick Up the Phone Booth and Die (http://www.spatch.net/booth/). It's a one turn game where you're a monster (?) and trying to not eat a kid. However, you will always eat the kid.

I have programmed this while on a road trip, so there's only a very minimal parser and not much to do in this game. If I have time before the jam ends, will try to add more endings! You are encouraged to check out the source if you need help.

I cant figure out how not to eat the kid. theere should be a /help kind of command to tell the player the other verbs/subjects

i checked out the source. With EAT, LOOK and STAND as the only verbs, the player's level of interaction with this game is very minimal. LOOK SELF was a particularly shocking outcome for me, given that is actually my age. :)
