I was not shot by Elephants.
(Spoiler - click to show)There's enough here that it feels like I'm missing something. There is, technically, a traversable map. The problem is that it has absolutely no care for what directions are/mean so you have to document paths rather than static locations. The "walk through" just prompts you to run the test me code. This is how I learned that "lick" is a verb that the parser understands. I have no idea how a player is supposed to come across this knowledge without the test me code.I was actually excited when I licked the player and got a whole wall of text for my troubles, for a moment it seemed as though I had found the actual game hidden within the tedious labyrinth of elephants, but I was wrong. Its just one room with some "elephant in the room" puns as flavor. Its possible that something interesting might happen if you shoot every type of elephants but I can't be bothered to navigate around and make that happen. Is this the point? Who knows. Lick the spikes to end the nightmare.
