Baf's Guide


In this snack-sized game, you bear the responsibility of recovering a laser printer stolen from a University computing center in the dead of night. Pretty easy. Takes place entirely inside one building. Features a hint menu, a guided maze, and a smidgen of self-reference.

A pretty small game set in a campus computer center at night, February 4, 2016

This game was one of the first games ever nominated for a Best Setting XYZZY. It's set in a charming campus building used as a computer center. There are three floors, with interesting things on each floor.

The puzzles, writing, and storyline are not super compelling, but their are a variety of charming touches that add to the game. The two significant NPCs are unexpected and cute. There are a variety of extra features that add to the game.

Overall, a very short game with a charming setting.
