An Astra remake of the 1977 text adventure, created with Threejs. It lacks polish but compares favorably with some early 3D games. Quite amazing.

My favorites are the Round Room that is square and the chair beside fireplace in in the house.
Like wtf is this cubist nightmare?
One thing I do NOT miss is navigating the twisty passages. The maze has been compressed to one room.

It’s MoDeRn (magical star sprinkles not included)
I think I figured it out.
Look where the legs are. The chair started out facing parallel with the floorboards.
And then the AI turned it to slightly face the fire.
The AI doesn’t understand continuity and what components are connected, so it all came apart.
Kinda like if you took a square construction of loose wooden blocks and squished it to a parallelogram.
