Some bugs remains. I hope to fix them soon for the incoming release.

Yes, this is a "respawn" GEM version, to play again to "The Pawn" (sorry).

Previous was made by Dan Ackerman 20 years ago, but it has issues under V4SA and true color screenmodes.

Walking smoothly on the path… and resting before the prompt search/debuging tomorrow.

And we made it through The Pawn. The ending is a bit … weird.
Also: we forgot the potted plant.

Another nitpick about The Pawn: some objects are designed in a weird way. The potion can‘t be picked up. You have to pick up the potion BOTTLE. Inside the bottle is the potion, yeah. This intricate world modeling is detrimental to the gameplay.

The Pawn has some nasty little pitfalls. For example when the doors to hell open, there is mention of a porter BEHIND the doors. But if you go east, he immediately kills you. The porter actually spawns in your CURRENT room, but the description doesn’t tell you unless you do another LOOK.
