What is the unnamed object at the end of the game? A hat?
I think the game is trying to mislead the player about there being
a hat at all. The word is a synonym for the grass, I noticed.

Oh, I dunno. As an exercise in how *not* to write a game, it's a must see.

There is a hat, but I did not implement a way to interact with it. That
does not take place until, PTBAD6, or PTBAD7. As a rule, something in
my games can always be called 'hat'. I believe that grass can be found
in "now".

A. I anticipated it.
B. Are game authors bared from a little self promotion?
-Even when their games are intentionally horrible?
