Congratulations on winning first place in the Puny Jam! This game may be your best yet, despite having no graphics! The story, characters, and locations were so believable, that I can almost believe it DID have graphics - I can see everything so clearly in my mind. Your puzzles were incredibly fun to solve, and ranged from easy to very difficult, so there was constant reward and challenge. I'm honored to have served as one of your playtesters and am looking forward to playtesting for you again :)
Thank you. The game is only as good as it is thanks to my wonderful play testers. Even though the jam was only three weeks, I did a lot of research to get things feeling authentic. I'm glad you noticed. There are lots of extra details (and some Easter eggs) for anyone that's prepared to do a little exploration.
Now that the jam is over, I plan to do a couple of small bug fixes/improvements based on comments received. I will certainly do some 8-bit and 16-bit versions. I am just waiting for the relevant tools to be released in a month or so. There will also be a browser-playable version. I have done quick and dirty Atari 8-bit and C64 versions, but they have not been tested. Please keep in mind that the 8-bit versions are dependent on the interpreters available for those platforms, hence there is no support for UNDO and no z-code games support graphics. Sorry about that.

I hope you release this on the C64 with a few graphical screens!
