Date: February 2nd 2010

I made a text adventure videogame for the jayisgames interactive fiction competition that you can play now. Because they're on my mind -- Tate's making steady progress on the rough edit for our new lo-fi sci-fi feature -- it features two characters from the upcoming Ghosts With Shit Jobs movie, the Karrento Brothers.

So if you're up for a bit of transmedia fun, you can play the game before the movie's released.

You and your brother's job -- scouring the city's highest spots for a rare building material in the year 2040 -- is already hard enough. Now Anton's gone and gotten you trapped on a rooftop. Your acrobat bloodline will help you with the deadly heights, and your brain will figure out the genmodded plants -- but will you be able to cope with having the most annoying big brother alive?

Play it now.

The jayisgames Casual Game Design Competition #7 gave people two months to make a text game with an "escape-the-room" theme. It's got a cash prize of $1000, pretty high for a IF comp, and an engaged audience of game players. I'm looking forward to checking out the other 30 or so entries!
