I really want to like this (and the reviews on the IF forum make it sound really good!) but as a non-parser player I have no idea what I'm doing. A list of verbs might help? I couldn't seem to find any way to interact with any objects other than picking them up and putting them down again (save for throwing, which only seemed to work on one thing).
Also (and spoilers!) examining the faucet didn't do anything. Neither did turning it. I imagine I have to in some way break the floor in the kitchen first, but I couldn't find any way to do that.
Also also: the font issue isn't that much of a problem given that the engine has themes built in. Maybe just highlighting that would be a good idea?
