It’s a text adventure, but the entire game consists of a single decision, and thus takes less than a minute to play. You’re in a supermarket looking at pasta. What will you do? Pick up the pasta? Move away? Eat the pasta raw? Sexually assault other shoppers? Your decisions are many, and as you play and replay the game, you’ll slowly get more and more of the story. It’s really very interesting.

Play The Aisle

Free Game Friday: Don’t Poop Your Pants https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/03/free-game-friday-dont-poop-your-pants/ https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/03/free-game-friday-dont-poop-your-pants/#respond Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:00:11 +0000 http://lungfishopolis.com/?p=728

…except the name of the game does not have the word “poop” in it.

Yeah, it’s juvenile. Yeah, it reminds me of some of the crude text adventures I’d played on my Commodore 64 when I was 14. And it bills itself as “survival horror”. But it’s old school in that it’s not easy. A timed text adventure? Getting all the different achievements is the tough part. Bizarre, yet entertaining. Good game for Friday the 13th.

Play “Don’t Shit Your Pants”
