Google has hidden a text adventure game in Chrome

 

A secret text adventure game has been discovered in the source code of Google Chrome.

 

A Redditor found the easter egg by typing "text adventure" into google.com and opening Chrome's javascript console. Beneath a warning reminding users never to manually copy and paste anything nefarious into the code, the console asks: "Would you like to play a game? (yes/no)".

 

While not exactly complex, the story - which is a mission to locate the missing letters of the Google logo by way of simple text directions - requires you to navigate by way of a series of directional instructions, plus the actions "grab", "inventory", and "use". You can also ask "why", and bring up all commands available to you via "help".

The secret game is reportedly only unlockable on the .com domain

 

Right now it's not clear how long the game's been available for, but it would appear u/attempt_number_1 is the first person to report the finding, and according to u/jeremyhoffman, the locations depicted in the game seem to correspond to "Google Mountain View buildings 45/47 on Charleston Road", giving rise to the theory that the programmer works from the Charleston campus.

 

To play yourself, open Google Chrome, and search for the term "text adventure". On the front landing page, type Ctrl+Shift+I - or CMD+option+I if you're using a Mac - and you'll find the game in the console. Just make sure you're using google.com; right now, it doesn't seem to be available on any of Google's local pages like co.uk.

not going to have the internet for a month so looking to buy a new game tonight, any recommendations for a platformer with ultimate satisfying crunchy combat like dead cells?

Resisting the urge to spend more time in photo mode than actually driving in Forza Horizon 4 is tough...

Finally getting around to playing the Witness. Beautiful game, and challenging

 

Also can't recommend Onward enough. One of the few games truely worthy of VR

 

The Witness has the hardest puzzles I've ever faced once you get past the first three levels. I had to look up answers consistently, and still didn't understand why that was the answer half the time.

 

I'm in the end game now for The Talos Principle. I never really struggled with any of the puzzles to unlock the gate, and decide to do the tower instead of the gate.

There are levels in The Witness ?! (are these metaphorical levels of enlightenment maybe?)

I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

i remember getting to a tower but not far past(into?) it. 

Friday the 13th is free on PS Plus this month which is cool.

"They're about guns, lasers, robots with laser guns in space. Monsters from the future. Explosions. Sylvester Stallone doing a backflip on top of a spike while Robocop carries a ghost up a mountain. Bombs and swords and that... IDM is awesome."

Holy shit - I scrolled from bottom up, so I didn't see your text before I saw the photos - I was thinking how nice the wraps on those cars were and never once thought they were renderings until you said so...

It's a real looker of a game. Hard to believe I'm squeezing out 60fps with this level of texture/detail, love it.

I beat it last night. It's pretty cool. One really challenging puzzle, but not bad otherwise. You need to beat all of A, B, and C to get to the top of the tower.

 

 

 

 

 

Those Forza screenshots look like real life. Amazing.

Hah, Acid Man stage got some mean jumps... fucking loving it!

 

Half way through the bosu fights all were quite phenomenal, stages fun, too. Good times! Game deffo still poses some challenge with the new gear (playing on normal), which really is a refreshing addition. Only design "flaw" with it: I hardly find myself using the power one, slo-mo and blasting away almost aways seems more effective... But i guess it really comes into play in speed runs where slo-mo is no-no.

 

It's really, really great so far. Just the music is kinda meh for Mega Man standards, at least. Not annoyingly bad, just a bit bland, can't see myself whistling along anytime soon.

you are not regret.

Those instrumental arrangements actually are quite alot better, well worth the pre-order :3...

 

Also: Dr. Light's trial... houly sheet. Some PS4 person got it down in hardly more than 10 minutes already. The game has been out for just a day XP... Jeebus.

Bought MM11, but trying to resist the urge to play it until I finish Dragon Quest 11... but I think I will cave in sooner than later.

Playing metroid samus returns on my 2ds.  Gameplay is great, a mix of mindless while also challenging.

 

But part of me wishes the graphics and sound had the same charm that super metroid had on me..  I guess what im describing is AM2R, the fan remake of metroid 2 that got the 'ol cease and desist by nintendo.  Has anyone played that one?  The only thing stopping me from switching over is the ease of playing on the 2ds rather than getting out the pc and controller.
