Natural language parser?, March 24, 2026
by Adam Biltcliffe (Cambridge, UK)

The game claims to have a "natural-language parser" but doesn't understand commands like "look at my surroundings". On the other hand it also doesn't understand common conveniences like X LAMP or TAKE ALL. It's styled in a text-messaging type of interface with unskippable timed text for every response.
