A fun diversion, February 19, 2026
by Denk
Related reviews: Adrift 4, Parchment

Playing "Portrait with Wolf" reminded me slightly of this game and I realised I never reviewed it. So I played it again. It plays well with the online button on IFDB.

It is not a normal parser game. Instead you are answering the questions you are given. Sometimes it is a yes/no question, other times the game is asking for a colour, an adjective, a verb etc. It is not always clear what you are asked about as the game text sometimes come in a confusing order but that is all part of the fun I think.

It is sort of arty but with humour. A nice little diversion.

Interesting five minute story, curious about other people's interpretation., December 17, 2025*

I found this interesting and I interpret this game as horror / science fiction but I am not fully certain about my interpretation.

This game was written with Adrift 5 and the author had obviously very little experience with this tool. It is not programmed very well but the game is so "easy" that it may not hinder your progress.

In case it does, here is a brief walkthrough:
(note that in Frankendrift you may have to click on the input field before you can hit space which makes the game progress)

(Spoiler - click to show)up, up, n, n, n, crawl

I rate this game as a very short game where the bugs do not play a big role as I was able to guess the necessary commands anyway. The bugs may even add to the confusion felt by the player character.

I am very curious about other people's interpretation of this game. For now I will leave my theories out but I would love to hear other people's opinions.
