This was so much fun! I enjoyed figuring out how to navigate the setting, and playing around with the automatons at our disposal (e.g experimentally bashing anything, even the Gazer, which I found really funny). I love the whole thing about losing your words, it seems like such a fun and clever take on parsers, and I love how you used it on the path toward the third ending.

Thank you so much for the kind comment, it means a lot and seriously made my week!! Beyond the experimental aspect I was really just hoping to make something fun that would bring players a bit of joy, so I'm very happy to know that it managed to hit the mark 😊
