Text games are one of those things that if you don't do it right, there's nothing fun about it. In this case, you've got a game that really can't explain itself.
as simple as it should be it is needlessly complicated. There's nothing fun about this game, no easter eggs or any sort of adventure.
Even the classic games (Like zork) had limited fun. consider putting in simple pixel art to see what's going on (I know it's a blind fisherman but you need something more.) As a plus however, I think putting the simple instructions in like you did was a good move. Better luck next time. :)
