Shade: Interactive Fiction

## Description

*Shade* is interactive fiction -- a classic text adventure. No graphics! No point-and-click! You type your commands, and read what happens next.

*Shade* is a snack-sized experiment in surrealism and psychological fear. It begins as a classic "room escape" scenario; but that's not how it ends.

Play *Shade* if you're in the mood for a short trip into an uncertain, shifting environment that might just be a nightmare.

\- Fluid interface designed for comfortable typing and reading.
\- Achievements tracked through Game Center. Each reveals a new snippet of Death Valley Om installation art, specially written for this iOS release.
\- Pop-up palette of commonly used commands.
\- Includes a handy "to do" display tab (so you don't have to type "READ LIST" over and over).
\- Full support for VoiceOver (speech output) and dictation (speech input) on devices that offer these features.

"Suffice it to say that it's extremely well crafted and very, very creepy--this is 'mess with your head' IF par excellence." -- Baf's Guide to Interactive Fiction

"It threatens one's ideas of the relationship between the player and the protagonist. It has entered the canon, as far as interactive fiction has one." -- Emily Short at PlayThisThing

*Shade* won the XYZZY Award for Best Setting of 2000. A browser-playable version is also available (for free) on my web site.
