About the Story

You've been locked in a padded cell for no obvious reason with only a deranged hamburger-eating clown for company. The cell doesn't even have a door. So begins an adventure that will take you to many places including custard-filled caverns, the world's worst Indian restaurant, the planet Venus, and the inside of a cereal packet. You'll meet such strange characters as the peculiar Plugalug, Rampateuay (a prophet who predicts things he's about to do) and the sinister Boss. Can YOU escape from the Crazy Place?

Escape from the Crazy Place is a sprawling Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type game, like the Fighting Fantasy series only considerably sillier. Written over 23 years with contributions from more than 30 authors and artists, it is now available in a new TADS 2 version that includes 70 illustrations and over 100 new pages.

Escape from the Crazy Place was the only entry in Lotech Comp 2006, but was unfortunately disqualified.

"Like the twisted literary lovechild of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Homsar, Escape From the Crazy Place is quite possibly one of the funniest things I've ever touched!" Ryusui - rec.arts.int.fiction.

"I've been playing your online Escape from the Crazy Place for the last half hour and I have to say it's... well, the best damn thing I've ever seen ever." Sprite - The Adrift Forum.

SPAG
Irritating and unfunny
... The admittedly bug-free play reads like something written by a 13 year old.
... The play, the “puzzles” (such as they are) and the illustrations are simple,
sophomoric and pointless.
