Go back, play it again. It's still pretty damn solid, for its age. Hell, it can be worth digging in deeper, too. There's a surprising amount of Zork titles.
I tried to use glow-in-the-dark thread for a Halloween piece and it did not work at all. I was so disappointed. Some people online suggested holding it up to a bright light for a while, I did that and still nothing 😭
It's finicky stuff for sure. And the texture is odd. Apparently there are a few different kinds, some glow better than others, and they're all a little weird. Some are more plastic like. This glows pretty well (it's brighter in person than in the photo) but it also fades kinda quick.

I think this is the first time I've seen a Zork reference basically anywhere really

I was pretty shocked when I saw the pattern online.

Nor did I. Granted, I was only 3 or 4 when that game game out for the C64, but I did try my best!

That's awesome, especially with the glow in the dark bit. I would totally buy one of those.

I would buy one of these if they were for sale

The pattern is for sale. And cross-stitching is pretty easy to pick up! (It's not my pattern. I stumbled on it and had to make it)

You should post this in the cross stitch community! I'm sure everyone there will like it, and I'm totally stealing that hidden message idea lol
