The verb list is an important tool as in Ferryman it is essential to give correctly worded instructions, otherwise odd things may happen. For instance try entering NORTH WEST (NW) in the Valley of the Shadow of Death!
It has about 90 evocatively described locations which on occassions give a chill of horror... "The smell reminds you of places where mould grows on rotting flesh".
In other places the atmosphere is quite haunting... "Towering above you is a stone tree, its roots dive into the rock and its trunk holds its vast branches high into the sunless sky".
There are also thirty interesting objects which perform a variety of peculiar functions.
You begin the adventure as a ready made sacrifice: "You have been magically paralysed from the neck down . . . the Preist raises a small yellow stone above your head".
Your actions now must be quick and decisive: SAY NIMLAX - DOWN - PUSH PRIEST - DOWN - SOUTH - DOWN.
