    Was shocked to discover I could play this on my mobile browser. Amazing! Brings back memories of playing this from a floppy in the 80s. God, I feel old.

    I played Zork a lot back in the day. You know, before the dawn of time.
    This adaptation has one thing going for it. It plays a LOT faster than the original text game.
    So far, I’ve not been told I’m likely to be eaten by a Grue. (This happens when you turn out the light.)

    Finished it. About 2 hours of playtime.
    The whole game is absolute shit. I cannot recommend it. But I did have fun.

      Hit L to turn out your light.
      If you are holding the ivory torch, it just switches between the lamp and the torch, but if you only have the lamp, the light goes out.
      And then the grue shows up.

      I saved this for last. After I finished the game, I left the light off.
      The grue shows up like three times and finally just eats you.

      Upon further reflection, I think dying to the Grue was my favorite part of this game.
