> It’s the first open world "like" modern text adventure written entirely by a single human being

This rings false

It is a gross exaggeration. There are far better modern text adventures out there written by one person (ie see the games of Andrew Plotkin).

There’s minimal if any interactivity in this “game” and I deleted it after 10 minutes of one screen with one line of text after another.
