I beta tested this game.
This is an ambitious concept debuted here in a demo game. It is an rpg game with procedurally generated text and spinning wheels indicating combat.
I liked the system quite a bit; the styling was good, and the graphics nice. I felt a bit dissociated from the story; like real RPGs, the story was in service to the puzzles.
There is hidden material here; despite beta testing and playing again later, I didn't find the sword or defeat the giant monster. Worth checking it out to see the system.
The idea behind the game and it's user interface is great. Unfortunately, some parts of the game (the online version) failed to load in my browser. Which meant I could not finish the two different playthroughs I had for this game.

IFComp 2017 Review: Insignificant Little Vermin by Filip Hracek
Despite all the tropeyness, I must say Insignficant Little Vermin is an enjoyable experience. It rings enough changes to the established formulas to keep the player engaged, whilst delivering all the combat, bad-ass dialogue and schoolboy wish-fulfilment you would come to expect from the genre. It's like a Fighting Fantasy adventure gamebook with all the boring bits chopped out: it gets straight to the action.
