Inside the Facility is a reduced parser game by Arthur DiBianca. The game understands only six single-word commands: NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST, LOOK, WAIT and STATUS. Actions like picking up, dropping, and giving away items and talking to NPCs are done automatically. The game is notable for implementing many different kinds of puzzles within these constraints.

Plot

The player character of Inside the Facility is a child who has been dared to explore a mysterious scientific building known only as "The Facility". The game is "won" when half of the rooms have been visited, although it is then possible to play on to try to achieve 100%.
