Power in a Name

There's power in a name. If you can learn the name of your enemy, you can use that knowledge to defeat them. This fact would be very helpful for the current monster invasion if anyone else believed it. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Now you're traveling into a dangerous cave with no fighting experience to try to prove them all wrong. The only weapons in your arsenal are a simple game of hangman and some spells you learn along the way. The fate of humanity in on the line.

Please let me know if anything about the game is confusing. Although this game is fairly short and simple, it's by far the most feature-heavy game I've ever made, and I'm not confident that I explained everything well.
