It's ok.
Clearly this game is for MUD fans. Need I say more. Also the text is fine, I dont know why everyone is complaining.
Reviews for "Crossroads"
that was good!
little bit of a blast from the past. simple and easy enough, almost fun except i'm really not used to playing games where i have to type everything in.
it didnt keep me interested enough to get all the acheivements.
you might want to think about sprucing it up a bit, maybe with some visuals, and some music?
it was alright though. good game.
Walkthrough
This is a brief walkthrough for how to get the two endings - I think there's only two endings :-)
Go to Gropendorpf, go to the well, take the axe.
Return to signpost.
Go to ravine.
Cut tree
Enter house
Talk to the man
Accept the errand.
Go to signpost
Go back to village.
Options: (a) Buy bread, (b) buy sword.
If you buy the bread you can go back to the guy who asked you to get it, and he'll give you a magic spell - which you can use to kill the troll or the guard, if you buy the sword you can kill the guard, get a coin, and then always have the option of buying the bread anyway.
If you kill the troll and then enter the troll village, you die.
The alternative ending is to enter the castle and accept the Knighthood from the King.
Fairly oldschool game. Would have been nicer to have a button interface, rather than typing, but was still fun.
kcnh responds:
Typing is more old school, and there are actually 4 endings, you only got 2!
A bit too short
This game is great, sadly, it gets a bit boring after a few runs since it's so short.
Hard to read the text
Very hard...or I'm just blind I don't know. It's an alright game though.
