Review
This game is odd. It’s a fairly short Twine game that boldly announces its lack of interactivity. And yet it has a lot of type-in messages in the game, offering you more freedom in input than most games. You end up at the same place in the end, true, but that’s true of almost all parser games, which tend to have very static plots despite the non-static puzzles.
The inputs require specific formats. At one point, I was asked to give an ordinal number (like ‘5th’) but instead typed 1, a cardinal number, and the game threw an error message.
It all seemed like a blank slate input-wise but with strangely specific messages in-game that offset the benefits of the blank slate without providing its own characterization. An interesting experiment, but not one that I felt a connection with.
