The Doldrums of Delivery is a small text adventure set in Metropolitan Spike City, an immense ringed city-tower where *you* are one of many *many* robots, and your job is to haul parcels around and deal with difficult recipients. How exciting!
This is my 5th text adventure Ludum Dare entry after LD47, LD50, LD51 and LD52, created in Twine, and my 18th consecutive Ludum Dare entry overall.

* Additionally, there will probably be typos. If you notice any, I would be happy to hear about them.
