Finally, a game about MY life! Seriously though, this is ingenious. Love the DOS style design, but there is no number 14 on my keyboard.

@owl-skip Thank you for your support! This is not for a number 14 but to type the two digit number 14 in the command. My English is not good and what should be a clear way of saying "please input a number with one or more digits"? Thank you!

really nice game, without graphics, i liked the idea

Fun little text game. I was disappointed bribe was only a one-time ability. The riddles are relatively too difficult.

Well done! Had some fun to create my own king! Full body strength may not be the way, but well! :v:

@alaah I'm not an English native speaker and these riddles are found from some websites. Sorry for the inappropriate difficulty. The first answer is "future" and the second is "time". Mysteries from the third are not riddles but some other questions.

Really liked how the game was presented, truly unique!

Really enjoyed playing this! Actually, I played this yesterday and came back today to try to get a different ending haha

I thought this game was very interesting. I really enjoyed the text game experience. You really pulled that one off. Great job!

5/5 Graphics in my book =). Took me a *long* time to figure out what the "message in the great container" was, but it was satisfying when I did. For the next one, I could not figure out what it wanted for "my name", didn't accept what GetUserName() returns or anything else I tried :(. I ended up winning my second game using Necromancy and Metamagic =).

@jimbly The name is hidden in the activity results in two parts, the first name and the last name. I remember they are in tax and in fighting with dragon. I'm happy you like this game!

jimbly 2020-04-24 05:39

Ah, since the one before it went "meta", I was still thinking along those lines. I do remember seeing a reference to an odd name in the Tax ones, but I don't think I managed to fight a dragon, I never put anything into body if I could avoid it ^_^.

I really enjoyed this - well designed interrelation between the various actions.

2020-04-24 22:20

This is a text game, how come there is no WebGL build?

cocohop 2020-04-24 22:40

Didn't expect to enjoy a text based game so much, well done!

Really cool to play a text-based game on here. It was fun seeing what differences my decisions made. Unfortunately, the riddles got too difficult for me very quickly and I wasn't able to make it very far. I spent a long time playing this, though, nice job.

bulent-altinay 2020-04-24 23:04

Really liked the game...Riddles are difficult..Some more clues may be added. Congrats.. :thumbsup:

Now that's a completely different game than most.

Intriguing. I chose to forget about Sesame and try to be a good king. Unfortunately that doesn't count anything :)

It's tough to verify what the actions actually amount to. Later on the current values scroll off the screen. It'd be nice to see how much you gain of something when you choose your action.

Cool game! Reminds me of some of the text quests from space rangers 2. I got into a good groove, but on the riddles I was stumped on the 3rd or 4th one. Would've liked to go all the way. Good entry and pretty cool to see a text game!

fabighindaru 2020-04-30 16:57

So different yet so cool! ^^

rroni 2020-04-30 18:02

I've been playing this game for over an hour by now, it's great! Now I reeaaallly want to do something similar!

jishin 2020-05-01 00:46

Really liked it! I'm a huge fan of this kind of games and this was such a great entry! Hope to see more of these from you!

ziplockbagman 2020-05-04 18:52

I liked it a lot as well. Writing and world building was very evocative even with very little text. I really wanted to help Sesame! I found the riddles a bit tough too, personally I would've left them out.

aceofsquares 2020-05-08 04:01

I cheated to solve most of the riddles. Two thumbs up!
