My Text Adventure Game

[BFG10K]

Here’s a text adventure game I designed and programmed. You’ll probably need Vista/2008 minimum to run it:

Consolas size 24 shown above. Recommended way to change the font:

• Make a shortcut to the exe and launch from it.
• Click top-left icon -> properties -> font.

It should be robust but it’s also technically beta, so if you do find bugs I’d appreciate steps to reproduce them.

Here’s a minor spoiler showing the sequence of instructions to arrive at the first puzzle, solve it, then fast-travel back to the start:

Spoiler

get, n, w, w, remove grate with crowbar, e, start

To the fans out there that make a serious effort to solve it, you should get several hours of solid gameplay. Have fun!

FYI: the game has been carefully designed so that the unfair elements of yesteryear have been removed, so it should be a lot more straightforward to play.

In particular, it's not possible to save yourself into a failure state, so feel free to experiment without time limits. You can still die though, so I'd encourage you to save regularly.

I wrote the engine from scratch using C++.

No, but there are other ways to die. :awe:

It would be really cool for some people to try it out for me.

There must be a few text adventure game fans in these forums.

No, but it does double buffering.
