Cross stitch fan art of the text based adventure game Zork. The opening lines of the game, "West of house. You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here." are stitched, followed by an input prompt. These lines surround a depiction of the house they describe.ALT
The same cross stitch, shown under low light. It is revealed that inside the image of the white house are glow in the dark letters which say "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue." These letters are invisible in full light.ALT

This. Is my pride and joy. A gift for my dad, who played Zork with me when I was a kid, and with his dad when he was a kid. I designed this pattern myself and had a great time puzzling out how to hide the glow in the dark letters!
