You thought the days of the text adventure were long over. That was before you discovered interactive fiction, the modern, independently published form the text adventure has taken since the commercial period ended in the early '90s. Now, you have a problem.
If you're a fan of Fallen London, spooky romance, spooky crime-solving, spooky branching narratives, and especially human-sized bats, this game is for you.
Hmmm...I might check this out. I like the idea of Fallen London more than anything else, same with Sunless Sea. I'll have to check out Sunless Skies, as I wasn't aware that was a thing. It's the setting that really intrigues me, and while there are things I really like about the games I have played, I can only get so into them for some reason or another.
Maybe it's just that I want to be in Fallen London, and I want to see it with more visual representation. A VN isn't a bad idea. I support it. Maybe it will be the thing that sucks me into this universe and keeps me there.
It's a really fun setting to explore! And Mask of the Rose will definitely have more art, if nothing else.
This is a very clever idea. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has sent a new marketing event out. Part of which involves running a DOS prompt of the old Infocom game Zork and has a working interactive included.
neat. we were forced to use those to learn assembly. i played it on an Apple 2e
IIc for me. We user to spend hours playing games like this. Look how far we have come.
We only had a couple of Apple 2s in the school. They only showed in my third term of programming and only 3 of us were even allowed to touch them. The rest of the class weren't deemed worthy :)
I did later get a 2c, that's the first and last Apple product I ever bought.
Back to the ruins of the Flathead empire. I hope I have a lantern and some Frobozz Magic Grue Repellent. I really Miss those Infocom games. I might still have the glow in the dark "rock" from Wishbringer floating around in a box somewhere.....
