A puzzly game written without the use of any text in quotation marks, February 1, 2025

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.
