SPAG
The limited vocabulary set combined with the sketchy descriptions of what is going on reduce Toyshop to one of the most frustrating games of "guess the verb" that I've had the misfortune to encounter in years.

Each time you solve a puzzle, you miraculously notice something else in the shop, which of course is part of the next puzzle. This makes the game very linear, as you only have one puzzle available to solve at any given time - solving it then produces another puzzle which either pops out of nowhere, or is given to you by Catharine.
