About the Story
Interred is an entry in the 2024 Anti-Productivity Jam for interactive fiction written in tools not intended for the task ... and boy is this tool not intended for it!
Interred is written in the Emoticon esoteric programming language, where emoticons (the precursors to emoji) are the primary form of data. Playing Interred requires the use of an Emoticon interpreter — the game is supplied only as source code.
Instructions for Play- Download the interred.txt file
- Open it in your preferred text editor
- Copy the code
- Go to https://www.teuton.org/~stranger/code/emoticon/interpreter.php
- Paste the code into the interpreter window
- Click "initialise"
- Click "live"
- Read the outputted text and follow the on-screen requests for input
- Enjoy (?)

Ratings and Reviews
:-O (..)_ INTERRED (..)_ :-Q is a short parser-like escape puzzle, coded in emoticons. Waking up in a bedroom, you feel the urge to leave this seemingly unknown place. Getting out isn’t too complicated, there is only one thing you need and all actionable commands per room are provided. It shouldn’t even be possible to fail.
What is most intriguing, is more how the game was made and is running. You actually get to peek at the source code, since you need to copy-paste it in the interpreter - though it doesn’t make much sense as is. I didn’t even know emoticons could be used to store data or be used to code whole games. So that was neat.
