Section 1 - Setup

A sin is a kind of thing. The description of a sin is "[if the player carries the noun]After deep reflection you realize you are still burdened with [the noun][otherwise]It was hard enough letting go of [the noun]. You really don't want it back[end if]."

Before listing contents: group sins together.

Before printing the name of a sin while not grouping together, say "the sin of ".

Instead of throwing or dropping a sin (called the sin): say "[one of]If only it was that easy![or]Perhaps it would be easier to give [the sin] to someone else.[or]I think you need something a bit more supernatural for that.[or]Is this a confession?[or]Avoidance is not a good solution.[or]I am not a priest, sorry, your stuck with [the sin] for now.[purely at random]".

A thing can be examined or not. A thing is usually not examined.

A thing can be out-of-reach.

Before doing something:

if the noun is out-of-reach or the second noun is out-of-reach:

unless examining:

say "You can't reach that from here." instead.

Understand the command "read" as something new.

Reading is an action applying to one thing.

Understand "read [something]" as reading.

Carry out reading:

say "That's not something worth reading into."

The Handbook for the Recently Deceased is a thing. The indefinite article is "The".

The description is "A green leather bound book about twice the size of your hand. It is torn and frayed. And has the words '[The handbook]' scrawled across the front."

Understand "book" or "guide" as the handbook.

Instead of consulting the handbook about something, try reading the handbook.

Instead of reading the handbook:

now the current menu is the Table of Basic Help Options;

try looking.

The help request rule is not listed in any rulebook.

A goddess is a kind of person who is female.

Instead of attacking a goddess, say "It is not polite to be violent towards a goddess regardless of your feelings towards her."

Understand "search [any room]" as a mistake ("That would take too long. Try being more specific on what to search.").

Talking is an action applying to one thing. Carry out talking:

say "It is possible that [the noun] would be more interested in a specific topic instead of idle chit-chat. Try asking [the noun] about a topic instead."

Understand "talk to [a person]" as talking.

The description of the player is "[one of]Gasp! you're missing a shoe! one shoe![or]You feel a wave of relief when you realize this is [bold type]not[roman type] one of those dreams where you find your self naked.[or]1…2…3…4…5. Yup you still have all your fingers.[or]No wait, vanity is a sin right? No it isn[']t. Or maybe… Nah could[']t be.[or]You look just smashing![at random]".
