Where Nothing Is Ever Named

I loved the concept of this one, but would have liked a bit more thorough implementation.

The idea is that there are two things in front of you: something, and another thing. But you're in a place where names—in fact, nouns in general—don't exist. Can you figure out what these two things are, and use them to escape?

This is an absolutely delightful idea, and something that can only really work in a text format. And WNIEN executes it well! The process of piecing together these two things didn't take long, which meant the concept didn't wear out its welcome, but also left me wanting more. Once I'd established that (Spoiler - click to show)one was portable and the other wasn't, I tried (Spoiler - click to show)putting one on the other, and that was that.

With only two nouns in the game, it also felt especially bad to hit an unimplemented verb. This feels like a situation that lives or dies by how many absurd verbs it includes, and on that front, I was left somewhat wanting.

Still, this is a great idea for a game, I enjoyed it as the little amuse-bouche it was, and I really hope to see more works in this vein, that leverage the medium of interactive text for something that really couldn't possibly work any other way.
