A minimalist text adventure by Michael Townsend. Developed at doublespeak games and inspired by Candy Box. There are several locations that the player will encounter throughout the game. Performing certain actions, building different structures, purchasing key items, or finding special areas on The World will unlock specific locations. The player begins in A Dark Room. The only option presented to the player is to light the fire. Once the dark room is lit, the room will become A Firelit Room. The Firelit Room can be upgraded to allow the player the ability to build a variety of structures, craft weapons or supplies, or buy resources from the Trading Post. The Room will report its temperature and the status of the fire whenever entered. The fire may be flickering, burning, or roaring, which will cause the room to be mild, warm, or hot respectively. If not stoked for a period of time, the fire will degenerate from roaring to burning to flickering, with the room cooling as it goes. If the fire tries to fall below flickering, Builder will stoke it automatically to keep it lit. Since Builder generates a constant +2 wood per 10 seconds, it would seem to be impossible for the fire to actually go out (and the room to drop back below mild) once burning. If the temperature gets too low, the builder refuses to build. Other than this, the state of the fire and temperature of the room do not appear to have any impact on the rest of the game after the builder recovers, apart from causing a Buildings constant slow consumption of wood. awake. head throbbing. vision blurry.

Trade Cost: Fur: 400 Scales: 20 Teeth: 10 Weapons Weapons provide the player with a means to defend themselves while traversing The World. Weapons can either be crafted, traded, or found in a variety of locations throughout The World. It is important to note that with the exception of the Fists, carrying weapons does not override the ability to attack with either weapon; this means that if the avatar is carrying both an Iron Sword and a Steel Sword, they will be able to both "swing" with the Iron Sword and "slash" with the Steel Sword, and both weapons will experience cooldown timers independent of each other. In this way, it is typically advantageous to carry a variety of weapons, as their carrying cost is generally outweighed by the benefit to simultaneously attack with multiple weapons in battle. Carrying more than 1 of any single type of weapon does not allow the avatar to attack twice with that weapon without a cooldown.
