A very long superhero game about changing shape and sentient clay, December 14, 2024

Now that Adrift games play online through parchment, I've been enjoying them a lot more than before.

This is an old Spring Thing game that is really very long, spread out over many years with significant puzzles and challenges in each time segment.

You are a superhero sidekick. Your boss can change shape into anything, while you can only change the shape of your hand. You also have a friend named Waterfall, a kind of overly-sexualized woman whose body is made of water.

Your main enemy is named Potter, a villain who can make sentient clay creatures.

The plotline has a lot of good elements. The paragraph-by-paragraph writing and the coding could use the help of a good editor. Near the end I was hit with a weird bug where events and conversations were printed before the room descriptions. Overall, though, this was a pretty solid story.
