08-18-06 update -- Release 4 is the latest version. The minimum score for a special ending has been lowered to 40. Also more bug fixes and miscellaneous minor changes. Thanks to everyone who has reported bugs over the years! I don't plan to update the game again.
The PK Girl is an interactive adventure written by Robert Goodwin, featuring graphics by CG artist Nanami Nekono, and music by MIDI composers Helen Trevillion and Oya-G. The game's story is divided into seven chapters, with multiple endings and many optional challenges. The game was originally entered in the 8th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition Fall 2002 and placed 6th.

This game was written with ADRIFT and requires the ADRIFT Runner v4.0, a freeware interpreter
that runs under most Windows platforms.
You can obtain this program at the Official ADRIFT website.
You will need v4.0 Release 40 or higher for The PK Girl to play correctly.
(If you are running Windows in a language other than English you may need to set non-unicode program support to English) For non-Windows users, The PK Girl can be played using jAsea or SCARE as an interpreter, but please note that I have not tested the game extensively on these. The game itself is also free and can be downloaded at any of the following three sites:

| The PK Girl is interactive fiction. While graphics and sound play a supporting role, gameplay is text-based. You communicate your intention by typing in simple commands in English, such as GO NORTH, TAKE THE DOLL, EAT CHEESCAKE, PLAY THE FRENCH HORN, LOOK BEHIND THE COUCH, HIT THE CLOWN, and so on. Many common commands have abbreviations, such as I for INVENTORY. If you've never played this sort of game before, don't worry, it isn't hard. Type HELP during the game for more information. Or consult Adam Cadre's Interactive Fiction -- Getting Started page for a quick run-down on playing IF in general. |
