Things is a TADS 2 interactive fiction game and is © 2004 by Sam Kabo Ashwell and Jacqueline A. Lott. It was a participant in the Speed-IF >= 20 event.
In this tiny one-room game, everything is a "thing". No other nouns are used. You just want to get inside the implemented rustic wooden structural sheltering thing.
