Even at a glance this has the potential to be an amazing game. The details stuck out immediately. There's unique goals right off the bat and tons of fantastic, well-designed features. I would play the hell out of this game. It just needs a little attention.

In the room for improvement department, I'm finding it really difficult to navigate or know where I am, as the automap seems inaccurate and isn't aligned. I don't know what symbol I am on it, either, which hasn't helped overly much - lots of other cleverly useful symbols in the map helpfile, but if there is a symbol for your own character I can't track it down. Adding to the difficulty, exits don't always show up - whether or not you have autoexits on. Navigating and knowing where you are is the main issue with Pict as it stands right now.

The overwhelming amount of color is probably the only other turn-off I've noticed. It could do for a major color-stripping, if only to look a little more professional.
