This is an assignment for my game design class; the goal was to make a text adventure with no graphics. I’ve added a simple background for this version, but that’s all.

There are over 50 screens, tons of ways to die, and dead ends; I got a little carried away with the assignment. Still, it’s just a simple game with basic puzzles, and I admit some of the ideas are borrowed from other places (particularly MadMaze, IMO the best logic game of all time). So enjoy, but understand there aren’t any amazing flashy effects; just writing.

"I miss the books with games like this one."

date: January 6, 2007

Content: As I said, I miss the books with games like this one, and this is not only a well made "Choose Your Own Path" adventure, but one on a site that should have more of them. Onto the individual scores:

Graphics: N/A
Style: Amazing, I wish Newgrounds had more people like you.
Sound: N/A
Violence: Obviously nothing visual, but the descriptions of painful ways of dying were well done.
Interactivity: Not very interactive, but that's part of the genre. As interactive as it needs to be.
Humor: Some of the the options were funny, particularly the ones when meeting the Crone. Far more significantly, some of the deaths were hilarious.
Overall: Brilliant. A sequel and numerous awards are warranted. This type of game belongs in a category of its own. And if there was a category for it, then maybe more people would make "Choose Your Own Path" adventures.

"Just like..."

date: February 15, 2006

Just like the choose your own adventure books, although there wasn't much choice and it was a very predetermind destiny. But i havn't seen many online versions like this although short it had a good story to it, but you should make it harder it only took me five minutes to beat.

P.S. lol i love the talking bird bit XD
