Description
In a "grim little cul-de-sac" outside a real estate office, a young woman knocks on the agent's door for the second time. An umbrella barely keeps the rain off her. The odor of garbage mixed with sewage and seawater assail her sense of smell. Aside from the full professorship offered to her husband by the local university, the move to Anchorhead seems to have little going for it.
Anchorhead is a horror-themed interactive fiction game set in a Lovecraftian dilapidated fishing village. After a gruesome death ends the Verlac family line, a young couple, from a distant branch of the family, inherit the ancestral mansion. The player takes on the role of the wife in this horror-themed interactive fiction game, exploring the mansion and the town, talking to its denizens, and uncovering the mystery that hangs like a miasma over the town.
