Things aren’t as they seem

Jonathan Ross sent me the link toFrog Fractionsthis morning. I didn’t give it enough time at first, believing it to be some weird browser-based educational game. Then I saw it brought up on Twitter and quickly realized there was much more going on here.

To say as little as possible while still piquing your interest, I’ll quickly note that I’m in the text adventure section right now. Jeez, I suck at interactive fiction. You might have heard a thing or two when word spread among gaming blogs in the last few weeks, but we’d rather be late than never show up at all. HopefullyFrog Fractionsis new to most of you.

It’s the game that keeps on giving. You owe it to yourself to play.
