Made for Spring Lisp Game Jam 2024. I spent the first 5-6 days working on the engine, so I couldn't add quite as much story as I wanted to (you were originally going to be able to explore the sludge pool room) and I didn't create any 3D models after the parking lot.

Designed on Linux, loosely tested on Windows. If you encounter a bug and/or an error popup, please report it in the comments or by email.

Tech details: (it's Lisp all the way down)

  • Text adventure data written declaratively with Lisp
• GUI library by Bogdan Popa
  • GUI layouts written declaratively with Lisp
• 3D modelling and visualisation library by Cliff L. Biffle
