Tristam Island is a text adventure game set on a small island where you find yourself after crashing your plane at sea. As you explore the island, you discover that it was once inhabited, but the people have long gone. Curiosity takes over as you wonder why they left and why there is a fence surrounding the white house on top of the hill. This game follows the mold of Infocom, offering a large geography to explore, immersive prose, a sophisticated parser, diverse puzzles, and a mix of humor and darkness. While the game's difficulty is rated as 'Standard,' it incorporates modern design principles to eliminate the frustrations commonly associated with 1980s text adventures, such as hunger timers, mazes, and blocking situations that require restarting.

After crashing your plane at sea, you end up drifting to a small island, with not much to survive. You explore, and find out the island was inhabited, years ago. But why did the people leave? And why is there a fence around the white house at the top of the hill? TRISTAM ISLAND is a text adventure made from the mold of Infocom; expect a large geography to explore, lots of prose, a rich parser, diverse puzzles, some humor and some darkness. To use Infocom's classification, I'd rate the game's difficulty as "Standard"; however, the game's design is modern and eschews all the frustrations commonly associated with 1980s text adventures. No hunger timers, no frustrating mazes, no blocking situations that force you to restart!
