Shrapnel is weird.
I just want to get that out in the open. Shrapnel seems less like a game, more like an idea that Adam Cadre had been mulling around. Shrapnel starts off outside the classic Zork white house, but it's soon obvious that this is no Zork clone. You go north, you get eaten by vicious attack dogs. I go north from the original location, and find that another location has opened up.
