The goal is to learn some human language and escape your captors. To play (Windows) download the zip-file, unzip in desired location, and run game.exe. If you are not running Windows, the game needs Ruby 1.9.3 and some recent version of the Gosu gem.\r\n\r\nThe game was made using Ruby with Gosu. Ocra was used to create the executable. Gimp and Paint for graphics. Audacity and MilkyTracker for sound.\r\n\r\nTips:\r\nIf you are stuck, compare correctly guessed words with their garbled counterparts.\r\nControls: Mouse, enter to advance some messages, arrow keys (up\/down) to jump backwards and forwards in time.","title":"They Came in the Night"}
