Hi! Thanks for downloading Night House! Please be aware if you download the game, though, there should be four files in the download: readme.txt (which you're reading now), Nighthouse.quest, an html file named "index", and an image called playonline.jpg. Ignore the image and the index file -- IFComp needs to have those in the zip file to enable online play, but they have nothing to do with the downloaded version. The file you want for playing offline is the Nighthouse.quest file. Unfortunately, to play it offline you'll need to download the quest software at http://textadventures.co.uk/quest but it will allow you to play offline. give you the option to save your progress. You can also play the game online at Uktextadventures.com, but you won't be able to save your progress unless you register an account at that site. Thanks for your interest! best, Bitter Karella @thenewmeat www.guttersnipecomic.com
