zo'o u'u zoi gy. My first published work of Interactive Fiction. It got satisfyingly mixed reviews, and was nominated for the 2002 Xyzzy award for, of all things, Best Individual Puzzle.

Some quotes from reviewers -

• "...Constraints is a masterpiece, fearless and innovative...I'm quite literally running out of superlatives; this is perhaps the best thing I've seen anyone do with IF" (Mike Russo - a madman)
• "...few overt flaws...but equally without any real passion or originality... To me, IF on the topic of restriction with subject-matter reflected in form seems like painting about bad art by doing a really crappy painting...I am filled with an urge to propel the author's head through a plate-glass window. Or stained-glass, since it has big chunks of lead in..." (Sam Ashwell - a star)
• "...I really like it that the experience of playing made me think about such a philosophical issue in my own life...Constraints is quite exquisitely implemented...perhaps English isn't the author's first language..." (Paul O'Brien - who really cracked me up with that last bit)
• "...it's at turns boring, frustrating, annoying, or dull." (David Welbourn - getting straight to the point)

You could, of course, play it yourself. The story file - constraints.z5. See www.inform-fiction.org to find an interpreter for your machine (there will be one). Alternatively, you can play online an annotable version. gy.
