LOL... could work. Only it'd be a terrible waste of resources to do it text-based since all the physics must still be calculated just as precisely as for animation.

once and if I 1. get my hands on a decent (hopefully free or cheap) compiler and 2. get assed to do it, I'll make a longer and better one.

I noticed that it at least seems pretty easy to make a text-based game editor program (a program to make text-based games) once you've made a decent text-based game yourself. might be false though

also here's a spoiler (don't worry, it'll be in a light colour, you can't read it by accident) to pass the game if you're assed enough. also contains the easter eggs. You'll miss some minor stuff like the rest of the examine messages and some uses though.

examine bed
take knife
use knife window
(easter egg: use bar *anything)
(easter egg: use knife window 2x)
use knife drawer
examine drawer
take key
use key cell_door
open cell_door
