One of my biggest dreams, other than writing poetry forever, was to create a text-based adventure in the style of the games of the PC games of the 80s.

As a kid I was always enamoured with the idea of telling a story in this medium, and I got hooked on multiplayer text-based games known as MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons). I even remember joining a poetry guild once upon a time.

Always poems.

Anyway, I've managed to get a working beta version of my new game/poem, 'Ghosts in the Hall'. You can play it...

I hope it tickles something in your brain. Enjoy :)
