Remember the early days of adventuring when you had sparse descriptions, slow & basic parsers, limited inventory, simple puzzles, death from hunger, & the wonderful mazes. If you do, you will love this as it has all these & more, as you go back once again to the prehistoric age, though not literally. In fairness the game is in only 16k, & came as part of a compilation with an unfriendly puzzle game called Tasks. The author later went on to do the Quill, which explains why the parser is very similar to that, & this is obviously not a serious adventure.
The plot is that you have come separated from your time machine, which you need to take you back to the present, though considering the locations cover countryside, farmhouse area & passages underground, with present day objects, it is hard to say what era the present is supposed to be. You encounter around a dozen moveable objects in your travels, plus a few unmovable ones, but that wont help you much when you have to map an extremely tedious maze, which seems to cover 2/3 of the game world, & have only six objects at your disposal to map it with. To add to this you have the dreaded hunger bug, where as you know if you fail to eat for a little while you drop dead with starvation.
Without the maze & the sloth like parser, the game would be completed in minutes, as the puzzles are extremely basic, with hardly anything to do. I would definitely not recommend this, unless you are a glutton for punishment, as this is certainly no Lords of Time.
