THE EBB AND FLOW OF THE TIDE is a work of Interactive Fiction based on a short story by Lord Dunsany, originally published in 1910.

TIDE is the second in a series of adaptations of early fantasy tales (the first being last month's THE JOURNEY OF THE KING), but is probably closer to an IF art show piece than a game proper. Nevertheless there is a narrative of sorts that moves forward to a definite conclusion. Fans of friendly IF will be happy to know there is no way to die in TIDE. Because you are already dead.
