Commentary of a petter-room is "I participated in this project just to see if I had it in me to create a finished piece of interactive fiction. Well, I didn't drop out at least.[paragraph break]The main inspiration was some pictures I found of the ruins on Ross Island. I also looked at real-world greenhouses, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, but very little of that actually ended up in the game. Neither the wonders of complex architecture or the joy of walking among a huge variety of plants are easy to capture in writing. At first, I wanted it to be more of a straight-faced mood piece, but there is something about classic parser interactive fiction and its puzzles that inevitably pushes toward silliness.[paragraph break]A big thanks to everyone involved, and a special thanks to my testers: Austin Auclair, Sanna Borell, Chandler Groover, Llew Mason, Andrew Schultz, Sean M. Shore, Lucian Smith, Matt Weiner, and Caleb Wilson."
