Description

The Absolute Worst IF Game in History is a text adventure game, created as an entry in the 2008 edition of the Annual Interactive Fiction Competition. Trying its best to live up to its title, the game consists of nothing but a maze with completely featureless rooms connected entirely at random. The only goal stated is to find the "scarabæus of floccinaucinihilipilification"; nevertheless, while wandering the maze, the game will sometimes randomly end with the message "You have won" or "You have died".
