The Google Adventure
Google blogger, information technologist, and sometimes game developer, Philipp Lenssen of Germany, has created a "choose-your-own" adventure game called The Google Adventure that takes place at the Googleplex, which is where you've just begun a new job...
Today, you started your new job as Google Quality Assurance Assistant of the 3rd degree. That means you're now responsible for spellchecking bug reports. (Well, you're not literally responsible, as you're just assisting the one who's responsible.)
But what you really want is a career inside Google. A high-paying, fulfilling, challenging and creative job. You think you have the right skills, too.
Little do you know, at this point, of the Google Adventure that awaits you.
While there are multiple endings to this hypertext adventure, there is only one "best" ending. Can you find it? Click.
Philipp used QML, the Quest Markup Language and editor, for creating this unique and original game. Also check out Games for the Brain, a whole set of games created by Philipp, previously reviewed here.
