While the gameplay concept for this game is admirable - the ability to modify communication with NPCs through multiple verbs and adverbs - the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Experimental games tend to make me want to experiment, yet I would all too often be stuck in a rut of trying out different modes of speech with no success.
The prose is vivid and enjoyable, and the characters enjoyably drawn. The game is certainly worth a play-through despite its flaws.
