This is cool - I am not sure if this is the exact copy I have, but it looks the same, and this may even be where I found it a few months back.I had to look at the code to see how to play the first time (something I should be doing anyway) coz I was entering 1 for example to proceed and it would only accept '1' in single quotes. So: Quote Number QuoteOn my copy I added this little instruction into the main body of text that describes the gameOtherwise - this game was really coolI have played a few Python text-based games, even tried writing one of my own and this is one of the best I personally have played.In addition to a previous post about it needing rawinput on 2.7 mine worked fine (2.7.11)Cool Game - Thanks.
