anyone know the name of the text adventure game where you explore a language wizard's house and each room has a different puzzle related to the words you're allowed to say

like in one room you can only use words that start with N, so you have to nick this and nab than and then you realize the only exit is to the south, so you have to figure out how to go south using only N words

i want to try it again

@monorail That sounds like an entertaining puzzle. If you get any responses, let us know too, please!

@Rosemary will do

if you like that you might like counterfeit monkey, it's a game about a world where language has real objective meaning and can be used to solve puzzles. you have a device that can remove letters from things. like, basically the first "puzzle" in the game (it's effectively a tutorial so i don't feel bad about spoiling it) is you have a tube of something but you're going to need a lot of it and the tube is not that big. remove the e, it's now a tub, more than enough for the rest of the game
