I mean yeah, it is just a novelty game, but I think it's very interesting in terms of parodying adventure game mechanics where you have to do like all of these conscious, sequential steps and everything about it is so specific. Complicated instructions don't work, and your first instinct might be to type "shit" but you haven't dropped your pants and you aren't sitting on the toilet, so you shit your pants. The number of failure states possible in this is just part of the humour, but it's really just the absurdity of how conscious and specific everything you have to manually perform is.

They even have it so if you type in "kill" or "die" or "suicide" then your character just does exactly that, so they really thought of everything they could here. Really dug the 8-bit victory/failure state music in juxtaposition with the visuals as well.
