Just wanted to shout out #ImprobableIsland, a really cool online multiplayer text-adventure. Very retro feeling, and a lovely community: https://improbableisland.com

After playing Improbable Island for a bit over a month, I've written a blog post to share what I love about it:

If you enjoy Persistent Browser-Based Games (PBBGs), this is one to check out! You can play the prologue without creating an account.

The developer is pretty cool, and is also here on Mastodon:

Game Impressions: Improbable Island

Improbable Island is a fantastic browser-based game that has captured my attention with its imaginative writing, hilarious monster encounters, and unique setting. Here's what I love about it.

While playing Improbable Island, a combat encounter with a crab turned out to be a L'Etranger joke.

I mentioned before that this game is absurd, and I meant it. 🤣

If you enjoy web browser games and you aren't playing Improbable Island, then you're missing out.

My latest addiction is Improbable Island, an old-school browser game.

https://www.improbableisland.com

It's made and run by one guy, with a great sense of humour. If you enjoy reading, Monty Python, and absurdity, you'll probably love this game.

Also, check out the awesome Code of Conduct. It's a very long read, but it really sold me on this game and its community.

So I somehow just found out about Improbable Island a few days ago. I wrote a userscript to make the desktop theme a whole lot more accessible; added some keystrokes for reading stats; labeled some things; and made some stats expose themselves correctly. If you by chance also play this game, feel free to download and tell me where I went wrong in life. Disclaimer: I'll probably get bored in 2 days and abandon them.

I generated a britt voice with Eleven Labs voice design and took a story snippet from #ImprobableIsland and had it narrate it. Text is too long for both the free plan and Mastodon in its entirety.
