ABOUT THIS GAME
Wake to a cold room, learn how to move again in stages, and escape by examining the bed, window, nightstand, door, and scorched outlet. Sprawl is a command-parser escape story driven by JSON narrative data, inventory discovery, and tense exchanges with the woman in the bed and the oaf at the door.
KEY FEATURES
