Ryan Veeder is the author of Taco Fiction (1st place, IF Comp 2011), “MOTORCYCLUS” (scariest book currently extant), and The Ascent of the Gothic Tower (commissioned by StoryBundle). He produces a text adventure podcast with Jenni Polodna called Clash of the Type-Ins. He does lots of kinds of things.
For guidance, type “hint” (or “help,” or “walkthrough”) at the prompt.
If you feel like you’re on the right track, but not getting results, try
- different verbs (e.g. “put” instead of “place”)
- different prepositions (e.g. “put in” instead of “put under”)
