The total lack of exposition turns the mechanics of the game engine itself into a kind of logic puzzle. Information is desperately scarce, and every tiny crumb must be noticed and carefully considered for significance. Obviously it won't win any awards for storytelling, but I found it to be an enjoyable brain teaser and very cleverly designed.
This game is written under extreme constraints. Specifically, it uses no quotation marks, including ones that would be used to give the game a title (so Inform defaults to 'Welcome').
So everything has to be deduced from the info you're given in object names and actions of those around you. Runtime errors are also a source of info.
This is quite tricky of a game. There are several layers of puzzle here. I solved a small chunk of the game on my own (around 20-30%) then went to David Welbourn's walkthrough, where I realized I hadn't understood any of the run-time errors.
Overall, this was a fun concept that was well-executed.
