Notable features
The game is largely puzzleless and although there is only direction for the plot, there are a variety of slightly different endings depending on what the player achieves during the story. The Glulx version (Release 8) includes illustrations and a hyperlink-based hint system that provides a suggestion for what the player should do next on each turn.
