Missing Grandpa: Lost in Time is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2012 by Becky Kinkead.
In this severely under-implemented game, you play as someone looking for your Grandpa. Grandpa's been missing for three days. You have a suspicion where he's gone and you decided to check his notes in his attic which mention time travel and a hidden door.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.

I dunno. Does this at least inspire anyone to do better or maybe expand on what's here? Because this game just isn't finished. Great title, though.
No credits, inventory, or score in this game. Sorry.
