Take

About

Take is a narrative-driven adventure game that casts you as a weary warrior hardened by relentless conflict. Your gear is worn, your face unappealing, and every blade that swings at you feels like the last. The story centers on a grim resolve to fulfill an obligation no matter the cost. Gameplay focuses on text-based choices and environmental interaction, with minimal combat and maximal emphasis on storytelling. The tone is dark and introspective, blending survivalist pragmatism with a haunting sense of duty. Written by Katherine Morayati under the name Amelia Pinnolla, the game was crafted for the 2016 Interactive Fiction Competition. It stands out for its tight, atmospheric writing and focus on emotional weight over action. With support for PC, Mac, Linux, mobile, and web, it’s an accessible entry in the interactive fiction space. Players often highlight its memorable prose and the way it turns exhaustion into a central theme. Short but impactful, it leaves a lasting impression through its unflinching perspective.
