The Cave of Morpheus

Author:Mark Silcox
Genres:Fantasy>Cave crawl
Surreal
Released:2001
Review:

Amusingly written if somewhat on the short side, The Cave of Morpheus is a strange little game. You awake in your college dorm one morning to discover you have an exam in five minutes and your clothes don't seem to be anywhere around. Grab your clothes and get moving! Outside your room, the college is presented as a bizarre place: an endless corridor, a fountain in which can be seen the face of your sister. The Grim Reaper himself even shows up at one point!

A very easy game to finish, TCOM contains no real puzzles but is well worth the 5-10 minutes it takes to run through.
