I honestly don’t know if I should be impressed… or terrified. I was certainly annoyed and frustrated for most of the game, that is certain. So much so that I barely paid attention to most of the actual writing or what was going on. Just trying to go through the gruelling gameplay, hoping for the least amount of psychic damage.

The World’s Most Annoying Game is a one turn parser, but also not really. You are standing before a Great House, that no one bears to go through it. Except you will, if you try hard enough. The house is dark and you have no lamp with you (you won’t find any). It is also so terrifying that you will shiver and shake and faint in horror if you make one wrong move (and the game will literally close). And there are 100 rooms you need to go through before you exit the house. It is also seed-generated (everyone has a different run) and there is no ABOUT or HELP or explanation.

Does it start to make sense now? About the absolute absurdity of the game? The cruelty to endure?

It is, however, not impossible to finish the game (because, well, I painfully have). It does require some special words inside your command so you may go through the house in that one single command. A built-in word, but rarely used: (Spoiler - click to show)then. With it, you will be able to finish the game in…

a good 4 hours.

Yes, that long. Even with a bit of cheating, there is still a lot of trial and errors. Forced restart at every corner. It is incredibly tedious. The first third is frustrating (even after you find how to make it work). The second third becomes pretty boring (it’s always the same thing). And the last, well… if you managed to pull through until then, it has to be because of spite.

Oh and if you’re trying to keep track of the different rooms? Yeah… don’t bother making a map. IT WILL NOT MAKE SENSE! The whole thing is procedurally generated (random room, random direction). Just the command and the name of the rooms is sufficient.

This is truly the quintessential mad scientist insane project. This game should probably be send to your enemies (or to troll your friends). Absolute torture.
But I feel proud for being the first person to beat it :P

Technically beatable maze for someone with a lot of patience and/or bloodymindedness.
