That could have been bad.
A whole day lost in the jungle! You’re bruised, dirty, and thirsty. But now you’re out. Finally! You’ve found your Jeep and you’re ready to leave this whole experience behind you. Except… Are those monkeys climbing through your car?
And where are your car keys?
An old-school, parser-based puzzler, set deep in the jungle. Here, you explore the overgrown edges of a lost, ancient city while trying to recover your keys from a troop of mischievous primates. Includes intermediate level puzzles with a built-in hint system for beginners.
Humor, Puzzler, Exploration, Conversation • Two hours • Parser-based
(Notable for being the first work to use version 2 of the orLibrary.)
