Summary
Playable game with RNG (Random Number Generator) driven random events!
If you don't remember this game, think back to things like Zork (or, as a poor simile, something remotely like Sir-Tech's Wizardry series in atmosphere [this version of Wumpus being far less graphics-intensive]).
Armed with vorpal arrows and bearing lid-bags of wumpusnip and wumpuspurge of dubious effectiveness in hope of alternately luring and warding away the evil monster, will you take up the gantlet?
Who says that CSS is 𝖍ard?
(NB for TTS screen readers: that last word was “hard”, not “ard”, but I cheated with an “h” from an unusual Unicode range instead of CSS, so that it would remain visually odd in the Summary... and found that my testing-purpose [and sometimes laziness] freebie TTS browser extension can't read it... because of course.)NB 1: HTML-structural redundancy bloated the word and chapter counts; ~15K actual words (~4K vis. by RNG) and 20 caves!
NB 2: More PG than G, about as graphic as Oregon Trail, but I'm not sure if that's enough to rate as Teen.

Jason works alone. He doesn't need help, he doesn't need Tim butting in on his cases, and he especially doesn't need some unknown number telling him what to do.

Summary
The sun is not a monster yet.
It is warmth.It touches his face the way kindness does when you've gone too long without it—so gently you almost cry. His body learns a new language: lift, stretch, breath without counting the seconds. He laughs.
(Or, the body remembers how to fall long before the mind admits it.)
