A verbless game, June 14, 2024

This is an interesting puzzlebox of a game with some cute 'characters'.

You play as a wizard that has lost all ability to use verbs. However, some of your words have possessed nearby objects, creating automatons!

You can use nouns instead of verbs. Unfortunately, this causes all loose verbs to converge on the given noun! This can cause a lot of problems.

This was a fun game, but also hard. It was hard to know how to start; it was hard figuring out if I had locked myself out of victory or not (spoiler: (Spoiler - click to show)it seems like there are multiple ways of doing this), and it was hard to win, so be aware of that coming in ahead of time! Although it was reasonably short. I think it's just fine being difficult (I think it made me like the game more) but I do think it could be useful to indicate the fact that you may need to restart/undo to win (unless I missed an ending that lets you do that!)

A very clever concept and a fun game.
