You take a deep breath of salty air as the first raindrops begin to spatter the pavement and the swollen slate-colored clouds that blanket the sky mutter ominous portents amongst themselves over the little coastal town of Anchorhead.Anchorhead is a text adventure game in the style of classic Infocom games from the 1980s. No graphics no menus no point-and-click — you navigate a written story using typed commands and read what happens next.Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world. A sprawling meticulously detailed setting brought to life by finely crafted prose and illustrated with dozens of spine-chilling illustrations ensures that the story will stay with you long after you finish playing the game.A sullen belch emanates from the clouds and the rain starts coming down harder — fat cold drops smacking loudly against the cobblestones. Shouldnt it be snowing in New England at this time of year? With a sigh you open your umbrella. Welcome to Anchorhead . . .
