A game I made for my literature club in 2023. Based off the novel Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Mr. Gradgrind's Grad Adventure is a quirky text-based puzzle game with 16 different endings. How many can you get?

The year is 18somethingsomething. You play as the no-nonsense Mr. Gradgrind, a man who has spent his life in pursuit of knowledge and clear-cut fact. Unfortunately, after a horrible carriage accident, he has awoken with amnesia, having forgotten all of his facts! So sad :(

The game is a text-based adventure programmed using the Inform 7 engine/compiler.

My favorite mechanic is being able to eat literally any object (even though the consequences are often dire)

So cool! Love the graphics! 10/10 should really have won the game of the year award at the game of the year awards
