Click Your Way Through The Mysterious Shadow Of Skullshadow Island
Clickhole, the Onion's Buzzfeed parody site, has posted a hilarious new text adventure.
Entitled The Mysterious Shadow of Skullshadow Island, the text-based game will give some nostalgic laughs to those who grew up on PC text adventures or Choose-Your-Own Adventure novels. Sample dialogue:
“Good paddling, Brother,” says Brock over his shoulder. Rare praise from the elder Coleman. You relish it.
“You’ve been really carrying your weight on our recent adventures: The Curse Of The Corpse’s Crypt, The Stolen Eye Of Osiris, The Big Dog Conundrum. It really eases my mind.”
Our Take
Clickhole's the funniest site on the Internet, for my money. I also adored Choose-Your-Own Adventure books as a kid, this was a perfect parody.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
