Hi there! My name is Jeremy Clewell. I'm a engineer...mostly python/django, js/react and so on. As I understand it, most developers should maintain some sort of website touting their accomplishments. This is my attempt at building something like that, while still having a little fun.
 
You can find my resume, blog and other vitals strewn about in the game or by clicking the links below. Otherwise, feel free to explore this interactive fiction.

If you have never played an interactive fiction before I would highly recommend first typing in "HELP" and choosing "Instructions for Play" from the provided options.
 
If you get stuck, or simply want to move through the game quickly you can type "HINT ABOUT"  followed by an object's name to determine if it may help your progress in the game.
 
 Please understand this is very much a work in progress.

             ...in the House of Hammond  
 
 
Sleep drips slowly away from conscienceness allowing reason to return. Tendrils of thought begin to climb slowly out of your dream-state as a stiffness becomes noticable in the nape of you neck. You feel your sweat drenched clothing clinging to your clammly skin. Wrenching your eyes open you begin to look around, finding yourself seated in a leather chair before a large oaken desk.
 
Office
You are in a dim and rather starkly decorated office. A cold waft of air flows in from an open door to the Northeast. There is an empty fireplace on the South wall of the room. The fireplace seems to be ill-drafting as most of the walls have a grey, soot-stained appearance. A large arched, window on the North wall lets in the weak, cold November light. The ancient, wooden desk where you sit is positioned below the window. There is a grandfather clock on the east wall.
 
Remember, if you get stuck, you can always type "HELP" or "HINT ABOUT [SOME OBJECT]".
 
There exits to the Northeast and to the West.
 
You can see a desk (on which are a desk lamp, a journal and a resume) and a grandfather clock (closed) here.
