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

First, 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 very badly programmed 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.

Games with maps... by Xionix
I started playing Counterfeit Monkey, and I notice a good map is a way for us newbies to get into the game more easy. And I hate to draw so, are any other games that got a in-game map? It can be any genre.
