Story
Gameplay
The player takes the role of him/herself, magically transported to the world of Balema. He or she travels together with Gorn, who refers directly to the player as Other Worlder.
The game proceeds by typing commands that Gorn will execute. The text parser allows to input rather complex commands, such as "use flint and light lantern".
