Welcome to Text Quest You are in a hallway. Obvious exits are West, South, and Over There. Around you is a dagger and another dagger. What will you do?
STRONG BAD: Oooh, this is gonna be good. I hope I find some scrolls. Or maybe a flask. {typing} get dagger

Fun Facts
- The text game probably led to Thy Dungeonman, seeing as it's extremely similar.
- The comment on scrolls and flasks is probably a reference to Thy Dungeonman, for these are key items in Thy Dungeonman.
- "What is dagger?" is probably a reference to how many old text adventures usually wouldn't do what you told them to.
- You can hear the hum in the background when Strong Bad talks, implying that this was recorded before The Brothers Chaps got a better mic and thus is an authentic old email.
- 'Horse woman' is probably reffering to certain people on the Internet who sometimes claim to be part humans. Naturally, they're not.
