You've crashed your car in a small town, and you have to find your way out.
This game plays on a 3x3 city grid that is minimally described (more areas open up later).
Everything is minimally described. 'There is a swimming pool here. It sparkles' and stuff like that. I had a game-stopping bug early on in Gargoyle, but it looks like others found many bugs as well. Scenery is undersdescribed, and the ADRIFT parser makes playing harder than it should.
