Collected a bunch of inventory items. But couldn't figure out what to do with em. While it's technically not a text based game, there is a lot of reading.
"and for that reason ... I'm out" lol
hey, im stuck at where
you can read poetry to the scorpion, do you need to complete it flawlessly?

@ fern
I think
that would be a little sadistic of them :). I don't know how long it took me, I think I may have typed one stanza (with a few mistakes now and then) and that was enough.
As far as I can tell, you don't need to complete any of the mini-games flawlessly. In fact,
in the poetry game, I don't think any mistakes you make before opening the box matter at all.
By the way, this game involves some profanity in some of the endings, so maybe it should be rated orange.
I type about 60 WPM, and found the typing mechanism did not work for me. I very quickly got ahead of the game, and it jammed.
Before I play this, I would like to know the rationale of the rating. I'm very easily spooked and all.
Oh, and is there a way to link my Facebook sign-in with my Movable Type sign-in?
I'm not sure I like the way that there are essentially
only two ways to get rid of the scorpion.
Not sure if this qualifies as irony, but I'm having trouble with the last way to die.
How do I fail the typing challenge after the box lid is off?
@Nicholas Rein
The rating is for language, although I don't know how you'll react to a cartoon scorpion jumping toward you. I'm an arachnophobe, but it didn't trigger me at all.
I figured out how to get that last way to die.
After successfully getting the lid open, DO NOTHING. Don't even type badly, just don't type at all. Don't click, either. Just do nothing.
I can't type fast enough to get the good poetry ending..... ^^;
Maybe it's just me, but lately, every time I click on a game to play it, the size of the game screen is too small and I can't see the whole game. I end up just going to the original source to play it, but I'd rather play the games on this site because of cookies. :(
Ugh. Ignore the above comment. It is just me� because I'm stupid!
