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.

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 ensures no stray spoilers.

Install instructions

Note: I unfortunately didn't figure out how to "sign" the exe file, so your computer's antivirus measures will do everything in their power to prevent Fkreb from playing.

I assure you, however, that I do not know how to program a computer virus. I was too busy coding Fkreb to do learn how to do that.

If these antivirus bypassing and trust requirements turn you away from Fkreb, that's fine. You could be playing Tetris for the NES right now, anyway.
