this had a really strong demo! i was intrigued by the unique way of interfacing with the space via word input and loved the dungeon crawler promise it held beyond it. the reality unfortunately is that it's incredibly superficial. there's too much combat with all the respawning enemies, which is in itself tedious and mired in bad gamefeel due to waiting for the cooldown. the combat also doesn't feel like the point, but there as part of flavor, but the puzzling/exploration isn't good either. puzzles often are just simple riddles that you either get or you don't, or a description of an item you have to guess. the humor of the game definitely carries it, and i really come away from this game not wanting to dislike it, but there's just nothing to keep me going.
