really impressive as a technical achievement and definitely something to build upon - but as it is now, it's just not that great. its main strength lies in its incredible diversity and adaptability to whatever the player does, which is something difficult to achieve in a text adventure. the plots it comes up with, though, tend to be either boring or unhinged - it takes a lot of prodding to get a good story out of it. it's inherently limited in what kinds of experiences it can deliver. it's certainly not going to replace interactive fiction authors or human GMs anytime soon, but it's a fun toy.
