Tried this one a bit. Can’t really get anywhere at all.
[spoiler]I get swallowed by the serpent and the blade disappears. I’m guessing that’s intentional?
Then there’s a skull that I can talk to but none of my ASK attempts get anything,
Some tissue I could get through if I had a weapon,
and some glass where ditto.
Tried a bunch of weird stuff like cutting off a quill of the serpent or throwing the sword in the serpent and nothing seems to help.[/spoiler]
The conversation system is very limited, I’m afraid, due to my inexperience with coding. [spoiler]The only way to talk to the skeleton is “ASK skeleton ABOUT something.”
(And now that I look back at the source code, I see an obvious error I made distinguishing the skull from the skeleton, which is why the skull won’t reply but the skeleton will. Sorry about that!)[/spoiler]
An explicit solution to the conversation puzzle:
ASK skeleton ABOUT bridge
Regarding the blade:
The blade does clatter away when the serpent swallows you. There’s no way to keep it. This is intentional.
That’s correct. Most things in this game are not takeable, but I tried to give descriptions to everything, so the things that are takeable will be apparent when you examine them.
