Love that parser! This game has a traditional setting of an exploration/mystery game taking place during the 1800's (as far as I know from what I've played of it so far), but the really cool part about it is the text entry system itself! It's got a great autocomplete/suggestion feature, where if you start typing "look" for example it will automatically list out all of the things that you can look at in the area you're in. I've seen that some people think that this is annoying as it removes some of the mystery of poking at things and seeing what works and what doesn't, but I personally find it very useful. This is one of the rare parser games that's in multiple languages too, so if you speak Russian this might be a fun one to try. Also, it's free! So why not give it a try?
