The design is very humane. Text interface supports verbs and nouns.
Verbs:
go - attempt to move somewhere
examine - take a closer look at an item
take - put item into your inventory
inventory - lists items in your inventory
use - attempt to find use for an item in the room

- the text area should auto-scroll so that I can see the latest messages without manually scrolling down
- some responses were written in non-English, no idea what they say
- I got a game over after 14 turns of trying to guess what to type and that felt pretty random: maybe somehow tell the player that they are on a timer
- After several game overs, I looked at the description and walkthrough and saw that my "get plant" was expected to be "take plant": most text adventures allow several different variations of an action so that people do not have to guess the right word for an action (or I should've just read your description first, hehe)
Disclaimer: These are just my opinions, so a lot of it is very subjective.
Well it does autoscroll... What kind of browser are you using?
Text in other languages is one of the mechanics.
I tried again and it does in fact auto-scroll, as long as I don't manually scroll up to check something that was written earlier. When I type something after that, it only scrolls a bit down and not all the way.
Thank you for playing!
This game is enjoyable, if not a little complex.
There were many scenarios where I typed something that seemed logical, but didn't work. I don't know how the code works, but perhaps you you could make the script ignore words like 'the' or 'a'..?
Additionally, whenever I click the LMB, it would register as sending a message, which quickly flooded the screen.
Overall though, really cool atmosphere! I really felt nervous when playing lol
Yep there are these issues.
Thank you for pointing them out and taking time to play the game!
