Tiny RPG
Tiny RPG
This is a quick and dirty port of my first crack at a text adventure back during my CAI days. If the defs look stupid, it's because I was stupid. Anyway it's exactly what it says on the tin. Channel your inner borrower and try to survive day-to-day life as someone who was shrunken to 5 inches tall. Pick your starting location and see where the AI goes with it!

The city you live in is large and vast already, but it may as well be an entire planet to someone of your shrunken stature! As you wake up and begin a new day, your stomach rumbles softly. A few scraps would be a full meal for you, but even getting that will be difficult. Where did you sleep last night? And for that matter, what's your first plan of action?
