Steam App ID: 726870

You take a deep breath of salty air as the first raindrops begin to spatter the pavement, and the swollen, slate\-colored clouds that blanket the sky mutter ominous portents amongst themselves over the little coastal town of Anchorhead\.    Anchorhead  is a text adventure game in the style of classic Infocom games from the 1980s\. No graphics, no menus, no point\-and\-click — you navigate a written story using typed commands, and read what happens next\.  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\. A sprawling, meticulously detailed setting, brought to life by finely crafted prose and illustrated with dozens of spine\-chilling illustrations, ensures that the story will stay with you long after you finish playing the game\.   A sullen belch emanates from the clouds, and the rain starts coming down harder — fat, cold drops smacking loudly against the cobblestones\. Shouldn't it be snowing in New England at this time of year? With a sigh, you open your umbrella\.   Welcome to Anchorhead \. \. \.
