Run Aground is a short text adventure game. The first version was written in about 2 months, by me and two other creative writing students at Emily Carr University in 2019.

To play, click "Run Game" and then "Play In-Browser." For more detailed credits, type about into the text prompt. For those unfamiliar with classic text adventure games, try consulting this page for a primer.
