The game has been designed by “Hitchhiker’s Guide” author Douglas Adams. The game mixes humor, sci-fi, and frequent player death for an expertise many regard as a part in the text adventure genre. The BBC’s latest version follows up on a previous 20th anniversary re-release, and boasts improved in-game navigation along-side a virtual keyboard fitted to touch screens.
