A downloadable game for Windows

Fkreb is a rather odd and esoteric text-based game. I think.

In any case t'was a parasitic pet project semi-sporadically cultivated over the course of four or so years. And then two or so years after its completion I realized I could make it playable via a Godot build rather than via an unsigned exe.

Features:

  • Words, and letters too.
  • Puzzles, some better designed than others.
  • Dialogue and room descriptions that might serve to amuse you.
  • Reference-based humour.
  • Odd wordplay that ensures this game will never be translated into other languages.
  • Approximately five cuss words and two dirty references. Reader beware!
  • An ending that you can reach by jumping through a lot of figurative hoops. (Literal hoop DLC coming Christmas 2028.)
  • Absolutely no reference to the Kreb Cycle.

Here's an innovation: If you need hints or solutions to anything in the game, message me on Discord at fover3913 and I'll get back to you. Alternatively, I've enabled the itch dot io forum thing for this game, so that could work too, though the former method entails interaction with a future celebrity.

There are plans to release a web build at some point (which may entail redoing all the work I did in Godot in Unity instead, thanks to C# business) as well as to pretty the game up with fancy stuff like a CRT filter and maybe even sound effects. In the meantime, feel free to imagine these things yourself.
