Nice its pretty good for only having 12 hours to work on it.
To be honest, I didn't manage to get engaged in the game, it was just a little too hard to get the story to go anywhere.
It was fun, but I had to cheat by looking at the source to figure out some of the puzzles. The computer gives an incorrect code to the vault. The grammar and spelling errors are a bit distracting as well.
@Pillbrain Yeah, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to actually flesh out the story in a sensible manner, which is why the beginning rooms have more content than later ones.
@nathanj439 I have a track record of difficult games, but regarding the incorrect password issue: yikes! I've updated the game to fix the incorrect password problem. Regarding spelling/grammar, I wanted to proof the game for such issues after I finished but I unfortunately ran out of time. :(
kill old man
>>you can't kill him
:O
I hard a hard time telling which text was bold. I really like text adventures, so I was excited to play. It was a bit frustrating to be so limited in what I could do, but I'm still impressed that you did it all in 12 hours.
Damn, been way too long since I last played a good text adventure. Remember working with the Quest engine several years back when they were still played, I'm amzed it still exists.
Was a pretty good adventure even if the story could've used some more fleshing out, and I guess the puzzles could've been improved as well.
I didn't get particularly far. So much command guessing! The help command only lists a few. I wasn't able to guess how to talk about subjects and the like.
@BlackBulletIV All of the commands (except the command ask subjects, which are in bold in the text) can be found on the buttons on the UI of the quest client (take, drink, etc) so there is no need to guess anything.
