Hidden Verbiage

Linus Hamilton

Release 1

The city of Reality has turned invisible due to lack of interest. The nearby city of Illusions, while beautiful, is but a figment of the collective imagination. King Azaz has sent you on a quest to end this perversion and restore Reality.

 

Use "find [object]" to reveal invisible pieces of Reality.

To interact with NPCs, use "talk to [person]" or "give [thing] to [person]".

 

HONOR CODE: this adventure is hosted locally on your computer. Please don't brute force inputs or decompile the source code to find the answer. That would be a fantastically unfun way to solve the puzzle.

Note: if you are playing in-browser, this puzzle may work best in Firefox; for me, Chrome has a slight annoyance with scrolling.
