Caduceus (Passerine)

A prize-winning entry in the Second Quadrennial Ryan Veeder Exposition for Good Interactive Fiction. The challenge of this event was to create a game in Inform 7 with beautiful source code text. Caduceus code is written in the style of a rhyming poem, and the game it compiles into is playable and winnable—though it might help to read the code first. Be sure to click "Source Text" (preferably "Complete text") to view the game poem code, and click "Play In-Browser" to launch the resulting game.
