Anchorhead is a text adventure game in the style of classic Infocom games from the 1980s. Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead, Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world. To mark the twentieth anniversary of its initial publication, Anchorhead is now available in a special Illustrated Edition with rewritten code, revised prose, additional puzzles, and illustrations by Carlos Cara Àlvarez.

With the cantankerous Wizard of Wordplay evicted from his mansion, the worthless plot can now be redeveloped.

As an adventurer hired by the demolitions contractor to kleptomaniacially clear out this mansion, you must engage in wordplay in order to gather all the items inside. It is not necessary to think of puns, cliches, or homonyms, however, as has been the case with previous logological interactive fiction. The puzzles in Ad Verbum are of a different—and perhaps even unique—nature.
