You need Adrift 5.0.33.1 (the other is to old he told me when I try to run it)


What will happen to you on the bus ...


I download it and try to play it now so I can´t say anything about it at the moment.

There doesn't appear to be anything there. Looked by IE and Chrome and under File it's just blank.

You need to login

Look again. you might need to register to the group but i can see the file, download it and open it without trouble.

The game feels a bit... clunky? Did anyone work out if the oldman serves any purpose? I couldn't seem to get anything to work with him.

you have to be registered with a yahoo account and join the group

What I don't get is, did Dole make this or are they just sharing it?

Anyway, good first try. I'm assuming it's someone's first try. Needs just a little cleaning in punctuation and grammar, but otherwise okay.

Isn't there a comp coming up? They could've entered with this.

The game itself says that it is by Octarine Flash

That seems to be the gist of it. Author wanted to learn a bit how to use ADRIFT so he put the game out. Did a bit of minor testing, but wanted to get started on the comp (not the usual minicomp, but a CYOA one).

As you said, not bad for a first try. Has some awkwardness to it as well as some dialogue with the redhead which is at odds with what events have/haven't happened yet, but they mentioned they had fun making it so I guess that is the main thing

Right you are, sir or madam. I should've clicked the "about" tab instead of expecting it to be in the game text itself.

Yes. This.

Search the seats before you talk to Ginny.


octarine_flash:
I hope this helps with any of the player problems you guys might be having. FYI nothing happens at the front of the bus so there is no point in staying there.

I tried that all I get is "You search the seat across the sile from the redhead, Most of the seat is covered in dirt,gum and stains."

I figured you need to find the weed before he gets on but despite searching everything I can see I can't seem to find it.

Ok I tried it to check it. The producer maked a mistake/bug so you find it only when you use "x seats".

Not to be a jerk here, but please try to make use of the "spoiler" tag.

Normally I'd download a game from the first post and refuse to look at the rest of the thread until spoilers don't matter too much because I've already played the game a decent amount. Since this is another Yahoo game, it means that myself and others just can't get access to it. So I glance in on the thread a bit to see if maybe it's been made available elsewhere yet and then I read these comments which tell me how to solve parts of the game. If I eventually get a copy of the game, it'd be nice to have the chance to discover these things on my own.

Sometimes spoilers slip through. It happens. I'm just reminding everyone that the tag is there and hoping most of us remember to make use of it most of the time.
