  • Lost Pig is a comedic work of interactive fiction about an orc retrieving an escaped pig. It was created by and released as freeware. It took first place in the 2007 Interactive Fiction Competition with an average score of 8.27.Lost Pig won best game, best writing, best individual non-player character, and best individual player character in the 2007 XYZZY Awards.Lost Pig finished with 18.7% of the votes for the Audience Award in the interactive fiction category in the 2008 Jay Is Games Best of Casual Gameplay awards, placing it second after Violet.

This means that the game's responses are frequently in broken English. A reviewer for The Onion A.V.
