It’s a retro experience with a text adventure game. I wrote it to prove to myself that I kinda knew WebGL after shutting down our browser gaming startup.
Only one person has beaten the game. Most don’t make it inside the building. Guess I’m not a great game designer ;)
- MaxLeiter 5y agoThis was a lot of fun. I appreciate `ls` being handled.
- OisinMoran 5y agoThis is excellent! I never really played any text games before but reminds me a bit of MoTaS and some other mystery online clicking riddle game I can't remember. Also like the difference between mobile and desktop!
- OisinMoran 5y agoOh damn I think I may have died. Didn't think that was possible! I am hooked!! All I'll say is Qball
- OisinMoran 5y agoHmm actually seems like the first time I died (and the most recent) was actually not intended, the game just kind of hung after some repeated actions and dropped me outside the game (needing to type "game" again) but in between these I actually did properly die.
- statico 5y agoWeird! I'd love to know how you got in that state. Please email me :)
- wanderer_ 5y agoI love how it looks. Please, can I have a hint?
- flanbiscuit 5y agoThis is amazing and very well made! > Most don’t make it inside the building. I just got into the building!
- innomatics 5y agoAwesome! I just ran out of time chatting to the cyborg! I wanna come back later. Thank you for this!
- statico 5y agoGlad you're enjoying it!
- codebje 5y ago"examine computer" is a nice touch :-)
- statico 5y agoThank you. You can get the full dose of nostalgia by using floppy disks...
- OisinMoran 5y agoStuck after opening the port, anyone any hints?
- statico 5y agoTools give you leverage ;)
- parksy 5y ago"xyzzy: nothing happens, nice try!" Drats! Nice little tie-ins with memorabilia as well. I started writing a similar thing myself based on the Amstrad CPC look-n-feel. I should go back and finish it.
- statico 5y agoThanks! The game here is written in Inform7, and it was so difficult to make progress that it took me three years on and off to finish the game. So if you do it that way, beware :) Abridged story: https://github.com/statico/the-archive-public/blob/master/The%20Archive.inform/Source/story.ni https://github.com/statico/the-archive-public/blob/master/Th...

- cdaringe 4y agoAh, perhaps this is why I periodically got no responses, and eventually was reset out of the game. I was deep down!
- Shared404 5y agoLoving the game so far! Very similar feel to The Room, but in text adventure style.
- JayCuthrell 5y agoVery clever and fun.
- sgt 5y agoReally cool !
- TripleH 5y agoI really enjoyed the text game and the design, thanks for sharing!
- r14n 4y agoI beat it :)
- statico 4y agoAwesome! Thank you for playing!
- fillskills 5y agoOh this is sooo nice!! Finally a break from templated internet and ads. Love how clean, simple, fast it is. Game - I am bad at text adventure games so obviously gave up after a few tries
- statico 5y agoYeah, I get it. A lot of times it's all about guessing the right verb. There is a "help" command which has pointers on how to play (thanks to a handy "extended help" library for Inform7)
- j1elo 5y agoI guess most peoplw don't even try. It was almost trivial to get inside! :) I'm curious if I skipped something or did as intented... Are you supposed to find the complete keypad number? (i.e. all 4 digits?)
- hathawsh 5y agoThe game begins after you enter the building. I think you're supposed to "activate Ian's memories" using a port in the control room.
- wanderer_ 5y agoI'm kind of disappointed it didn't respond to "brute force it" when I got to the keypad.
- statico 5y agoCool idea. I'll add some parsing for that, but you might be the first to use "brute force" as a verb in the game.
