Game Info

The Breakdown is an old school, point'n click adventure game. Like the ones made by Lucasarts (but not as cool). From your childhood, remember? If you don't, read the following:

Adventure games are all about exploration and solving puzzles. By examining everything and picking up everything you can, you raise your odds to achieve success. That's true in real life, too.

After the intro it will become clear, that you're playing the pointy haired main character, and your objective is to get to your home town and cash the winning lottery ticket in time.

The Breakdown is freeware, which means you can play and distribute it for free. You're not allowed to make money for distributing it, though. If you want to add it on a compilation cd of some sort, you have to ask my permission.

The game was developed with AGAST (Adventure Game Authoring System) made by Russell Bailey and Todd Zankich.

Additional info about the game can be found in the readme.txt that comes with the game. You can read the readme.txt also here.

Disclaimer

I won't bother myself with a long and tedious disclaimer, since nobody reads nor likes them. So, briefly: Anything this game might do to you or anything near you is your headache. It shouldn't do anything bad, but you never know.

You run the game voluntarily. I didn't make you do it and I will not accept responsibility for anything. Ok, maybe for the bad jokes, but nothing beyond that.

The Breakdown is freeware. You're entitled to play and distribute if for free, but you're not allowed to make money from it. Contact me, if you wish to discuss distributing it on compilation cd's or other mediums which have a payment of some sort involved.
