One of the nice things about the IF community is that people will try a lot of things! In just this one IFComp, for example, we see people playing and writing extensive reviews about games that are so buggy they can’t be finished*, go out of their way to troll and mock the player*, or require installing a ZX Spectrum emulator before you can start*.

* According to the reviews I’ve seen, at least.

Make whatever you want to make, don’t worry about finding an audience, and see what people say. Then let that guide your next project.

If you’re interested in making a parser game that plays like classic RE, I might suggest checking out Forsaken Denizen, which is doing something similar. It won’t help you from a code perspective since it’s not written in Inform, but it might still be useful to see how the mechanics translate to the parser format.
