Yes! I forgot. To be honest, there are too many cool and genre-breaking IF games to list.

There are two games I have really enjoyed but that I'm unable to find again

- A single room game where you have to get rid of your inventory (it's a lot more compelling than it sounds)

- Having to figure out a constructed language in a tribal setting to get medicine for your son

I think the second one is The Gostak, by Carl Muckenhoupt:

I definitely want to play the game you just linked and thanks for alerting me to it. However, in the game I was thinking of, the parser and descriptive text are in English, but characters speak in the constructed language and only respond to it

Both sound interesting. I've played enough IF to know just "getting rid of your inventory" is a promising starting point!
