 Three years ago when I first uploaded Escape from the Crazy Place to Glorious Trainwrecks I promised to return with an all-new TWINE version of the game. TWINE version was originally intended to be a trimmed-down, more polished version of the 2006 TADS 2 version, but myself and my friends Loz Etheridge and Mark Bailey got a bit carried away, and somehow or other the 2017 version ended up being two-and-a-half times the size of the original. The game will continue to expand over time as I intend never to stop adding to it.

-You've been locked in a padded cell for no obvious reason with only a deranged hamburger-eating clown for company. The cell doesn't even have a door. So begins an adventure that will take you to many places including custard-filled caverns, the world's worst Indian restaurant, the planet Venus, and the inside of a cereal packet. You'll meet such strange characters as the peculiar Plugalug, Rampateuay (a prophet who predicts the the things he's just about to do) and the sinister Boss. Can YOU escape from the Crazy Place?

The book was a minor sensation in the school; it inspired several imitations and I was plagued by requests from fellow students wanting to read it. Sometimes I would lend it to someone and find on its return that several new passages had been added, and occasionally existing passages acquired illustrations. 23 years later I finally finished it.

"The game opens with an NPC hamburger vending clown named Donald McRonald who eventually 'takes two fingers and stuffs them up your nostrils for a joke,' and it deteriorates from there." - Mike Harris, S.P.A.G. Reviews
