Review:

This stands out immediately for its unusual command selection method. Common later in graphic adventures, the use of single letter commands narrows down the options available and will probably be most satisfying for people who hate the usual verb / noun options of conventional adventures.

On the downside, it does open by dumping you into a maze, that most hated of gaming features! Once out of this, the limitations of the system become obvious when completing simple tasks like examining or picking up objects become tests of trial and error.
