I really enjoyed this, it took me back to my school days (translating Latin that is, not ORVAT FRG HCBA OL TUBFGF  😅).

A few small parser issues:
* the MATCH verb could maybe also work with TO as well as WITH
* after "LOOK UP <adjective>", "MATCH IT WITH <noun>" didn't work

It felt a little odd that your character has to look up pretty much every noun, but automatically knew all the verbs.

Overall though it was quite fun and V QVQA'G FRR GUR GJVFG RAQVAT PBZVAT.

Thank you for playing! Yes, I agree the parser wasn't as flexible with MATCH and LOOK UP as I would have liked - my implementation was pretty rough and hacky, thanks to me writing pretty much all of this the day before the deadline whoops (that did help me get into the protagonist's mindset though!) I'd love to come back another day and make a longer and more robust game using the mechanic.
