Bigger Than You Think was written for Archive of Our Own's Yuletide 2012 event as a fanwork of xkcd-1110, "Click and Drag". While written in Inform 7, the only commands it accepts are bolded keywords from the text (one to three in each location, representing actions to take, items to pick up, or places to move to) or the player's inventory, in addition to an always-available "restart" option. All keywords also appear as clickable hyperlinks.
