Shaka!

At the end of a sleepless night, you went to dreamland just before the alarm clock rang. You drove to work as if on autopilot. But when you got there, you realized it was Hawaiian shirt day and you forgot to dress properly.

A social nightmare and a story that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Playing Interactive Fiction

Where? You can play the game directly here in the browser (above). Or you can download it and play it with an interpreter. I personally like the Lectrote app by Andrew Plotkin, which is available for Windows, Mac and Unix. If you want to play the game file on your mobile phone, you can find suitable apps here.

How?

Here's a short summary of how to play Interactive Fiction, and here's a slightly longer one.
