There is a submarine in a lake named after the lazy cat nobody reads yet still has managed to survive for years? That is truly horrifying, those not dead which eternal lie...

Wait a minute, that is what those blue bottles were all about! Space vodka!

It sounds easy to you... but I have had a world of headaches with them that usually causes me to rage quit. I think they are the most frustrating genre of game, simply because of its ability to decide what you say is invalid. Maybe your word choices make sense, but I seem to just type line after line with nothing succeeding. Plus who even knows if the sleeping powder even works on the dragon. That is part of the problem, not only do you not know if vocabulary is off, you don't know if you are just doing the wrong action or doing the wrong thing entirely. With visual games you can tell if something didn't work, here you just guess over and over until you get bored of wandering aimlessly without getting anything done. I think directions and picking up objects are about the gist of what I could do in the game.

Maybe I will do a stream one day, though expect me to get very desperate very quickly. Beyond flight sims, they are probably my worst genre of game, the difference being that I can actually move in a text game while I will ceaselessly fail the starting objective of a flight sim. I think I would do better with visual adventure games.

Yeah, I don't think text adventures have any cohesion. I remember a beach in Zork if you go some direction from a basement.
