Good parser IF to recommend to novices?

Galatea is not your traditional parser game, and more like an interrogation where you ask an animate statue about a ton of different topics, with different endings.

At the risk of expressing a controversial opinion, to me Galatea felt more like a proof of concept pertaining to a very limited functionality of IF than a full, finished piece. I did have fun with it for some hours but it didn’t leave me wanting for more, although I 100% know I didn’t come near to exhausting it.
