Seeking testers for small Adventuron game for TALJ

I’m looking for testers for an Adventuron puzzle parser game written for the 2026 Text Adventure Literacy Jam (hopefully)! It’s meant to be short and easy. Since it’s an Adventuron game, it’s going to be an HTML file I’ll be sending over.

Haven’t added the tutorial text yet, wanted to test for bugs and solve-ability and general flow first. Optimistically, I’d add the tutorial text after this and then have another round of testing with some newer-to-parser players, to see if it’s actually a good true beginner game.

How small is small? I’m happy to give it a shot, but my time this next week will be limited.

I’d call this bite-sized as well I think, if people are taking more than fifteen minutes on this, then I’ve probably done something wrong!

I’d be happy to test if you still need people!

I’m looking to do another round of testing now, especially for the in-game tutorial I’ve added.

So I’d especially love to find some players who are less experienced with parser games (or just people who think they’d be good at seeing from a beginner’s POV) to tell me how this fares as an introduction to text adventures. Estimated length is 20-35 minutes.

I’ll do a test. I’m not an avid parser player so I might fit the bill.
