Dwarflover

solution

Dwarflover: The Text Adventure was written in TADS 2, and based on the webcomic Dwarflover. I don't know the release year or the author's name yet except that his first name is Jeff. The game can be played online at http://www.noapologiespress.com/tads/. This solution is by David Welbourn.
