Child's Play

Children see the world differently from adults. A box to a child could be a spaceship, or a duck, or duck ship, or a space duck. To a child, because they like to play, everything can be a toy. Try to imagine how you would approach these situations as a child. The idea of the game is to find your lost toy Mr Giraffe and explore the house. Try to imagine yourself as a small child and choose the options you want to rather than what you may think is the right way. Try to perceive the world as a child would, and most importantly have fun.

Bundled with GLUXE. Windows Glulxe is an interpreter for text adventures in the Glulx format. which is a format designed by Andrew Plotkin to move beyond the Z-code format supported by Windows Frotz. Glulx removes all the size limitations of Z-code, and has a more powerful input and output model, supporting graphics and sounds in various formats. Like Z-code, the standard way of writing a Glulx adventure game is with Graham Nelson's Inform compiler. 

 

Demitrius and Jack take no responsibility or ownership of GLUXE, only of the GBLORB file within, called Child's Play.
