Written ad hoc in a mix of BASIC and machine code, this game is ambitious and has some good points, but it is marred by several bugs. All locations have graphics (mostly attribute-based). The design is strange and seems to be one of a kind. There are too few clues, so players must rely on trial and error, and mapping challenges are abused. Some puzzles are excellent (e.g., the monument) but it lacks atmosphere and sense of cohesion. It is difficult due to ill design more than to careful workmanship.
