Included Adventures
The Oregon Trail
Travel 2,040 miles from Independence, Missouri to Oregon City in 1847. Manage food, ammunition, medicine, and money as you face river crossings, disease, harsh weather, and countless life-or-death decisions. A fully-featured recreation with resource management, hunting, trading, and multiple paths to victory—or death.
Pirate's Treasure
Hack into a mysterious pirate radio frequency and follow cryptic clues across a remote island. Explore beaches, jungles, and hidden caves while collecting three ancient gems needed to unlock the legendary treasure. Multiple locations, secret passages, and puzzle-solving await.
Abandoned Facility (Horror)
Something went wrong at the old research facility. Access corrupted security logs, piece together what happened, and try not to become the next victim. Atmospheric horror storytelling with tension-building choices.
Fallout Wasteland
Survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Scavenge for supplies, encounter other survivors, and make difficult moral choices in a world where resources are scarce and danger lurks around every corner.
Rust Survival
A meta-adventure set in a world suspiciously similar to the one outside the computer station. Gather, craft, build, and survive—all through text commands on a terminal screen.
