Anchorhead

The setup

What you are walking into

Anchorhead is a text adventure game in the style of classic Infocom games from the 1980s. Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead, Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world. To mark the twentieth anniversary of its initial publication, Anchorhead is now available in a special Illustrated Edition with rewritten code, revised prose, additional puzzles, and illustrations by Carlos Cara Àlvarez.
