Description

Six is an interactive fiction game created for the 2011 Annual Interactive Fiction Competition. The player takes control of Harriet, a small girl from Australia who is celebrating her sixth birthday with a costume party and a hide-and-seek game in the park. The goal is to find and tag all of Harriet's friends, which is not easy because they can be very good at hiding and running away. Thus the player will need to solve some simple puzzles in order to tag every one of the guests.

After finishing the game, the player can replay it in the role of Harriet's twin sister, Demi. Demi's costume and personality are different from Harriet's, and thus the puzzles to solve are different in this version.
