Looking for text adventure playtesters

I've been working on an Amstrad CPC conversion of my first new Quill adventure for many years and it's ready for a few willing volunteers to test. Although most of the text adventures I wrote as a kid were for the Amstrad, I originally wrote Ghostship Delgado earlier this year for the BBC/Electron. The game's written using Gilsoft's The Quill (with all it's charms and limitations) and I fancied the challenge of using the BBC version as I believe it was the only one written by a different programmer.

Anyway, the story as you might have guessed, is set at sea, and on a ghost ship, or at least some of it is. It's a two part game, you need to finish the first to move on to part two. The game runs on any CPC.

Although I've done a straight conversion from the BBC to CPC, I've literally needed to re-key everything as there's no handy conversion tools. So I'm looking for testers using either emulation or a real Arnold for feedback to report bugs and spelling/typo/grammar problems. I'm keeping as a closed beta until release so if you're interested please ask me questions or just drop me a pm and I can send you a copy of the disk image + pdf instructions. I'd be grateful for any contribution, even if you have a limited amount of time for it.

There's a bit more background on the game on my itch.io page https://loftcat.itch.io/ghostship-delgado-amstrad-cpc
