Ad Verbum is an interactive fiction game released for Windows and Macintosh operating systems in 2000.
The story of the game is that the city has secured an eviction notice, but the demolition contractor is contractually obligated to conduct an inventory of the Wizard of Wordplay's manor before knocking it down. However, strange things occur that keep the contractor from doing his job.
The gameplay requires knowledge of the English language and wordplay. For example, in certain locations the player is only permitted to use commands that begin with a specific letter.
