The Storm in the Kitchen

With the letter opener clasped tightly in your hand, you pad carefully down the corridor towards the kitchen. The noise comes again and you freeze. Blood pounding in your ears and breath burning in your lungs. What is it?! Another step forward and suddenly the power comes back on. The low light over the kitchen table highlights a jacket that’s not yours hanging from a peg.

Do you run out into the storm or shout out a greeting to see who’s there?

Dan: So, this is me, joining Alexander in this homage to the text-based adventure games and Fighting Fantasy single-player role-playing gamebooks from the 1980s. Feel free to explore, see what happened in the previous nodes, or investigate where the story leads. Hope you enjoy it, and if you want to help create the next stage, or send it to someone else who might be interested, then all the better. Have fun!
