Review
This is a Russian speed-IF written TADS for the Vzhzh-Vzhzh! contest, the game explains to me. "Vzhzh" is the sound of moving fast, it also says. The rules require a wet and dry pair of twins, talking inanimate objects, and fourteen syllables in the title.
The title doesn't have fourteen syllables, but perhaps it just may be a translation issue. The other two requirements are met. And...hurray! It's not written in TWINE!
It's not a particularly long game, but the goal is to drink beer. The obstacle to this is comical and it's very well-implemented for a Speed IF. I did notice on a restart that the game won't let you do some things until certain points. For example I couldn't call the books by their nicknames, nor could I interact with the extremely complicated table until it became completely necessary to.
Good effort, I completed the game in about 20 minutes, and I am usually horrible with one-puzzle games.

Thank you a lot for your review!

You're not quite right here:).
(Spoiler - click to show)
While the game title isn't exactly 14 syllables long, it certainly does contain exactly 14 syllables. Just look at it (especially at its starting part) more closely:).
I see what you did. Letter of the law, if not the spirit!
