Entrant - IntroComp 2002
This is an IntroComp game that was never finished. The premise is that you are a fighting therapist, who opens the day by giving a primal scream in the mirror, wearing gold cuff links, and attempts to intimidate his patients.
No matter which way I play this game -- Gargoyle, iplayif, a downloaded Scare interpreter -- I get a warning that "the game uses Adrift's Battle System, something not fully supported by this release of SCARE." I can't find any versions that seem to work, and information on this is very obscure. I also looked into decompiling the game to see what the combat looked like, but couldn't find any working programs.
After waiting a few turns, your client enters and you are given the teaser "Which of these combattants will emerge triumphant? The answer awaits you in the conclusion of this, our first selection from the files of Sigmund Praxis, Guerilla Therapist!!" The way this is phrased also makes me think a battle just might not have been implemented yet -- the game's very small filesize is also an indicator.
I'm not sure if it's just the fault of aging technology, but there doesn't seem to be much to this. But I think it's a good premise, and one I'd be excited to see brought into a full game.
