Yurf

What is Yurf, you ask? Well, I don’t know precisely. It’s a place, but not like our own. A realm of wonders, the kind you might find between a lazy Sunday daydream and the trodden sidewalk you take to your best friend’s house.

I’m writing you because Yurf is in great danger, and only you can save it. If you can gather the Four Gems of Yurf, you might succeed in saving the day.

To this end, I’ve kept the method of traveling to and from Yurf a secret, just between you and me.

WARNING: This game is very different from other parser-based text adventures you've played before! If you've never played Yurf, the first thing you should do is check the mail!

If the regular puzzles are too easy, after beating Yurf for the first time you will be awarded with a Boss Mode. Boss Mode is like a New Game Plus; you get harder puzzles, and the hint system is turned off, but the story is the same. If you can beat all the puzzles in Boss Mode, you'll be awarded with a secret prize.

Zarfian Cruelty Scale Rating: Merciful.

Content Advisory: One large (but friendly!) bug and a mild threat of violence.

Note that while this game runs fine on mobile, a hardware keyboard is recommended.
