Losing Your Grip is a piece of interactive fiction, which is a fancy way of saying "text adventure." It is long--the interactive fiction equivalent of a novel.

At your hotel, you are captivated by a mysterious portrait of a sad-looking woman in a green dress that seems to be reaching out towards you.
Your allies: a tortoise, your strapping son, a trusting servant girl, and a ghostly ancestral apparition.
You're head of a security company hired to build a better dungeon for a fairly unpleasant king -- the king's portrayal is largely comic with a dash of brutality tossed in now and again.

 Losing Your Grip review
Stephen Granade's Losing Your Grip is an ambitious effort: the plot draws heavily on symbolism and attempts to sustain it over the course of a full-length game.
One fit depicts your run-in with some "faeries," a reasonably obvious stand-in for your imaginative/creative side (at least, I thought so), and, in rapid succession, the maturation of that imaginative self, its disruption/negation by an outside force that threatens Terry's freedom, and the overcoming of that outside force and reliberation of the imagination.
One of the nicest things about Grip is simply that it hangs together well: the reappearances of the dark side that you struggle with, the veiled conflict with Terry's father, and the ways you drift back and forth between reality and memory/introspection make a remarkably coherent whole, or so I found it.

 IF-Review: Getting a Grip on LYG
Stephen Granade's Losing Your Grip is (or, rather, 'was': registration is no longer possible, and there is a free version forthcoming) one of the few shareware games in the IF world.
LYG's backstory is partially given away in the feelies you receive upon registration, and the game makes a lot more sense with them.
Your explorations soon yield a companion, a name-able dog who accompanies you on your further travels as well as being vital in solving puzzles.

 Losing Your Grip
Originally released as freeware with an optional registration (to get "feelies" and hints), but now the feelies are free too.
You're a fellow named Terry, in rehab for nicotine addiction, and the drug you're put on sets you on an internal journey of sorts.
Nearly everything in the game functions on a symbolic level, and trying to unravel everything is challenging--there's been no little debate on the rec.*.int-fiction newsgroups about what everything means.

 Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan
Qazi Hussain Ahmed, leader of the six-party opposition religious grouping the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA), who was briefly detained on the weekend, has set a deadline of March 23 to depose Musharraf, but there are clear signals that within a matter of weeks the military regime could have further lost some of its grip on power.
The administration has already in effect been sidelined in the tribal areas of North West Frontier Province, where in South and North Waziristan a Taliban-led administration is in place and the Pakistani security forces cannot move beyond their district headquarters of Wana and Miranshah.
Similarly, Balochistan province has turned into a quagmire, with the armed forces having lost their iron grip to insurgents, who are now calling the shots.

 Roosters losing finals' grip - League - Fox Sports
SYDNEY Roosters' top eight hopes look decidedly shaky after rampaging winger Manu Vatuvei led the New Zealand Warriors to a convincing win at Aussie Stadium today.
The Roosters had no answers in attack, the untested halves combination of Lewis and Jamie Soward trying hard but hopelessly outclassed by the Warriors combination of Jerome Ropati and former Roosters lower grader Grant Rovelli.
Martin and Nathan Fien added another couple of tries to confirm the two points for the visitors, who now have just as many wins as the 11th-placed Roosters but remain in 13th spot on the ladder after losing four competition points before the season began for a salary cap breach.
