Pilgrim is the first Rod Pike game, I think. While his other games are in three parts (Dracula, Frankenstain, Wolfman) this is a one-parter. The prose is very engaging, a bit like reading a book. The problems are so-so and the parser a bit weak at places, but it is well worth a play nevertheless. I can recommend this game to anybody exploring the works of Rod Pike or if you're looking for a game that feels like book.

A quick mention what the game is about also. It is a combination of low-key scifi and medieval fantasy. Your village is under attack and you have to flee. The adventure is then a journey to an unknown destination, or might I say destiny...

The Pilgrim works rather well, and Pike's prose sets the scene admirably. In his later games he often seemed to go overboard in his attempts to outdo his own gory descriptions, and the slightly hysterical tone sometimes worked contrary to (what I suppose was) his intention. Not so here - a solid game with an interesting theme.
