What is this?

FRANK is a text-based adventure/puzzle game, inspired by the classic genre. There is a twist, of course - your interface is that of a computer's command-line.

Where am I? How did I get here? Who am I?

As with many examples of the genre, there's not a lot of backstory initially available. Think of the start screen as analogous to "You wake up in a field, remembering nothing. A path leads away to the north."

What do I do?

Explore! There's a way to get out of almost every situation you find yourself in. And if you search closely enough, you'll find out what you need to continue.

What on earth is a command-line?

A command-line interface is a text-based interface to a computer.
If you've never used a command-line before, then FRANK will be a little more difficult, but not impossible! Type cat /tut/t1.0 to start with.

This interface doesn't act like the one on my computer!

That's not really a question, but okay...
The FRANK game interface is loosely based on a linux shell and linux tools.
It is much simpler than a real linux shell.
