The time warp after every failed attempt is redundant to be honest, it would much more interesting to have you simply progress normally once you get a unique response. There isn't much guidance by way of you little bit of background info for the antagonist to go on what would actually progress the game.
I have absolutely no clue what to say
The game has a bit of a rough start, but once you discover the first word that leads you somewhere, it's really fun to follow along and figure out how to get a reaction out of the characters!
I like the idea of a one word text adventure it is unfortunate that there is very little information to prompt the few accepted responses. The time warp is also frustratingly long. With some more time and focus I think its possible to make a really cool unique game from this Idea.
