Hi Lori, A Grue is a monster that was originally created for the Infocom games like Zork if I remember correctly.If you don't play interactive fiction or text adventures that may be why you are unfamiliar with that particular monster.

Re: [Audyssey] iOS audio horror games.
Hi Charles, Nope. Dark is not a Grue, but sometimes I wonder about him. He must have one for a pet. :D As for encountering Grues in the original Zork games you only encountered one when you entered a dark room or area without a light. If you were the type of adventurer that carried a light with you everywhere you went you probably never were in the dark long enough to encounter one. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] iOS audio horror games.
Hi Tom. Well I don't have a grue for a pet, at least not one I'd admit to, you need a license you know. I do however have a Reever! currently sitting on my feet. which, if you seen the series Firefly you know are scary space zombies! or indeed in the maze runner books they're evil glowing giant scorpians, or indeed in Space Odyssey their psychotic robots! Either way they are pretty scary! Oh, and btw, no this isn't a joke, my dog is actually called Reever! it was rather amusing to end up with a dog who's name has such a distinguished sf history, albeit she is actually not that scary (about as far from scary as you could get).

hmmm never thought of dark having a grue. But if you do look at the audiogames news section he does mention he has slaves, elf slaves, and cyber security guards and a few other monsters in his dongeon.

Hi lori. Grues were creatures in the original Zork interactive fiction games by infocom from the 1980's. Everytime you went into somewhere dark you'd get the message it's pitch dark, you are in danger of being eaten by a grue and then if you didn't immediately exit the area or light a match you were told oh no! you've stumbled in the jaws of a lirking grue! Grues were therefore held to be creatures who waited in the dark to eat adventurers who went stumbling around without a light. Obviously this presents an amusing paradox for blind gamers. While I am not personally a major fan of the Zork games, (too much in the way of illogical puzzles and guess the verb), I do love the idea of the grue! I like the name, i like the fact that nobody actually knows what they look like or what they are (I did hear in a later zork game you got to see one but that's quite disappointing). I even wrote a little song (which I'd love to reccord if I ever find the technology), the chorus of which are Beware the grue! whatever yee may do, he'll bight your thighs, suck out your eyes and make a meal of you, he'll use your skin to keep things in, and use your blood as glue, he'll eat you most completely, so look out for the grue! It has about three verses, all involving various people being eaten by the grue, and choruses that get preogressively more weerd! what can I say, I just love the word grue!

Re: [Audyssey] iOS audio horror games.
Hi michael. Again, just like the last time someone asked about horror, well what do you mean by horror? For example, several of the choiceofgames feature monsters such as vampires and zombies or battles with alien monsters. The game soul trapper I believe involves an interactive audio drama story with ghosts and demons and such, and if I remember rightly blindside is a similar interactive audio drama set in some sort of appocalypse, and there are likely more especially when you start considdering interactive fiction and such.
