Birth of Mind is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2011 by Justin de Vesine. It was a participant in The penultimate not numbered New Year's Speed IF event.
In this very short story inspired by both Norse legends and Jack and the Beanstalk, you play as a little god named Jack. You want to find an ice giant who can tell you how to start Ragnarok.
