Description: So Far, An Interactive Catharsis by Andrew Plotkin
Dissatisfied in a world not unlike our own, but not entirely similar,
you slip into another reality: a collection of allegorical worlds,
full of haunting images, strange noises and atmospheric landscapes.
.
Andrew Plotkin, the author of So Far, writes:
.
"This is a shortish-to-medium-sized game. More than a short story,
less than a full-length novel. Its rating is `cruel.' It is possible
to make mistakes which will prevent you from winning. Sometimes common
sense will serve to avoid such mistakes; sometimes insight is necessary;
sometimes neither will help. Save often, and keep your old saved games.
.
"Do not expect `So Far' to be anything like `A Change in the Weather'.
It's not."
.
You'll need a Z-code (i.e. Infocom-format) game interpreter, such as
XZip or Frotz, to run this game.
