Just curious: did you use a framework like QuestJS to make this? This is absolutely fantastic work.
I died from kicking a dog's dead corpse. 10/10
i cant eat corpse let me be a terrible person
Ha :) it's a good point well made. Can't believe I missed that
This is the most fun I've had in a while. Thank you, good sir! Also, may I ask what engine did you build this with?
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! It's what it's all about :) I didn't use an engine, it's all my own creation :) I'm very much a do it from scratch kind of guy
That makes it all the more precious! Congratulations and here's hoping to see more of you in the future! :D
What a game to play right now.
I'm really gad you enjoyed it! Thanks :D The idea to color where you've been is really good. I may do just that in future games :)
Love the dark humour and achievements! Similar in that way to Reigns. Gonna try a few things out, really enjoying it so far!
Also what a great name!!
Thank you so much :) Glad you're enjoying it
It would be nice to be able to have a running stream of the text instead of the text box resetting, in case I forget what just happened. Meanwhile, I tried to morbidly enter:
But sadly, it didn't work :( lol!
Thanks. Yes, I agree and a lot of people though the same. If I make another text adventure / update this one I may well do just that.
"fire shotgun at self" - haha, I very nearly implemented that as well :)
I have searched every room and have found no key for any room. any help?
Be sure to not only look at each object in a room, but also search each object. Furniture is a good bet. :)
Goz goes old school in this text based adventure in a apocalyptic world!
Check out more vids like this here!
I am trying out various different tactics to see how it changes things. Is there any hint you could give to me as to whether or not I can get Angus to stop following me? Like, stay somewhere? Or not go into certain rooms?
The only way to stop him following you is rather permanent... If your hinting at what I think you are hinting at, I'm afraid that part always happens. Hope your enjoying it :)
I am greatly enjoying this, thank you! I kinda figured it would turn out that way, but oh well. Thanks for this great game. The engine runs really smoothly, well done.
Thank you so much :D
Can you get stuff back from Angus once you have given something to him?
You can, but only by killing him... so it depend how much you want it back
Hmm. I'll have to restart then.
I'm liking it so far - tip for other players - `get` also works for `pick up`
Thank you!
Yes, most of the action words and many of the items and structures have synonyms which also work. Hopefully it will know what you mean most of the time :)
