The PK Girl is an InteractiveFiction game written by designer Robert Goodwin using the ADRIFT engine. The protagonist is a more or less ordinary guy who sees a cute girl being kidnapped while going out for ice cream. At the urging of her sister, he gives chase to rescue her, and learns that the sisters are really [[PsychicPowers psychics]] trying to escape from someone that wants to make use of them. During the course of the game, he encounters more lovely girls while trying to protect the psychic sisters from their oppressor.

The complaint about Katryn is a misreading (Katryn's actually capable of solving the entire plot on her own if you're a Useless Protagonist ) though the rest of the trope stands.


* WomenAreDelicate: The game's chauvinistic view of women was pointed out even when the game was in its competition days, with women being portrayed as inherently weaker than men. Despite several of the women in the game ostensibly having psychic powers or other combat skills, they are so childlike that the untrained, unremarkable (but male) protagonist has to constantly help them out. Laurie's introduction is all about how helpless she is and how she just needs a knight in shining armor to help her, implying that of course she just needs a man to make her complete. Katryn is supposed to be a master manipulator, but she still relies on a complete stranger (you) to achieve any of her goals and of course like all the ladies... she just wants a maaaaan.

While she still relies on a complete stranger (you) to achieve any of mostly lets the player character do her goals and of course like all the ladies... work for her, that's because she just wants a maaaaan.strong man at her side and is testing his fitness. This is seen if the PC screws up; she'll intervene and save him.
