Description

A text adventure written by Tim Hamilton.

Night security! How did you end up with this nine dollar an hour job. Oh well at least you don’t have to work that hard. In fact, this job is actually quite boring. Watching security cameras and sometimes pressing a button to open a gate or two. You settle into your chair in the security office and settle down with a book. After several hours you look up from your book and think it’s been really quiet tonight. In fact you don’t think you have heard any chatter on the radio for quite some time. And, come to think of it, there has been no activity on the cameras either. Hmmm, that’s odd. Usually there are forklifts running around and people passing by. You decide to put the book away and scan the cameras more closely to see if there is anything going on…

How to Play

Type commands at the command line, or use the panes on the right of the screen to interact with the things you see.

I like the navigation bar on the right side, it's especially helpful so that you don't need to keep typing "look" to get everything listed again. That was always the bane of my text adventure experience when I was unable to write things down.

This is remeniscent of the text based rpg's that were popular in the 80s. There is something to be said for a well woven story, and leaving the graphics up to the imagination. This story unfolds as if we are living in a Stephen King novel. Excellent work.

A nice game. Although I personally like graphics, these old school games have a certain charm to them.

The game freezes after I open the door in the North Hall. Did I die of shock or what?! I'm very frustrated and I can't figure out how else to go further in the game
