Key & Compass presents:
Too Much Exercise
by Robert Street

Too Much Exercise is an ADRIFT 4 text adventure game and is © 2006 by Robert Street. This game was entered in the ADRIFT Writing Challenges Comp where it took 2nd place.

You play as an overweight man who is somehow in a valley where the nearby cottage is labelled as "BUBBLE 3927". You're hungry and you don't like exercise.

This solution is by David Welbourn.
