White Ajah Week of the Greats: Text Based Adventure Game!

Welcome to the Week of the Greats' retro, throw-back Text Based Adventure Game!

 

Now, those of you youngsters may not remember this, but some of the older computer games were operated by writing out instructions for your character. For example, your character would be in a room and you would need to type in the command, "Examine window." Then your character would look at the window and find a clue... or something.

 

So, I'm going to be hosting a mini-text based adventure game for you all to play. Anyone who posts will be able to control the character. Be creative with your commands because there's plenty your character can do! There is a goal, and a main objective, and a puzzle to solve. By working together, you may be able to get through this in once piece!

 

GAME PLAY INFO:

 

The character's world is a 4x3 grid of rooms (12 rooms total). If you want to take notes on a particular room, you can use the template from below.

Columns are labeled as 1, 2, 3, and 4. Rows are labeled as A, B, and C. Directions are UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT. A is UP from B, C is DOWN from B, 1 is LEFT from 2, 4 is RIGHT of 3, etc.

 

So, feel free to hop in and try to solve this game!

 

(PS: if you die, you start back at the beginning.... that's why it's important to take notes....)

It's the treasure that lured you. The rumored wealth outweighs the risks. No one has made it out alive, but you're determined to.

 

It's an old house, dusty and dank. The walls are a dull, gray stone, unadorned and plain. As you step into the room, the door closes behind you. An ominous feeling settles in your stomach, but the idea of gold pushes you forward. You must survive!

 

ROOM: A1

 

There is nothing but the closed door in this room. Exits are RIGHT and DOWN.

ROOM: A2

 

The room is mostly empty. Two candles flicker on the wall and you wonder who lit them. In the corner, a tall suit of armor stands guard.

 

Exits are RIGHT, LEFT, and DOWN.

You lean in close to look at the armor. You can't believe its shiny exterior. Surely there should be some rust, judging by the cobwebs and dust around the room. You reach up and touch the cold steel of the sword hilt. The metal supporting the blade groans. You jump backward, but it's too late. The suit collapses, its pieces flying in all directions. The swords' sharp edge slices cleanly thorugh your heart as it falls to the ground.

 

YOU DIED.

The chain is long, rusty and has a decorative gem at the end. You pull the chain. The toilet roars loudly as the water circles down the drain. You take your hand away and the chain falls free from the hanging. It clatters to the ground, the triangular shaped gem skidding across the floor.

You go to the tub and inspect it. It's an antique, old, but in great shape. It seems out of place with the other components of the bathroom. You turn on the tap and hot water flows out. Tempted by the rising steam, you decide to have a quick wash. You strip and climb into the tub, soaking in the blessedly hot water.

 

All too soon you remember you're here on a mission. You climb out and dry off with the only towel in the room--a small hand towel beside the sink. You get dressed again, ready to find the treasure.

You peek outside. To the LEFT you see a suit of armor. For some reason, it sends a shiver down your spine. To the RIGHT you notice a colorful room. DOWN appears to be an outdoor courtyard.

ROOM B3

 

This is an outdoor courtyard. Green grass stretches all over, with a sprinkling of wildflowers. You can see every hue of the rainbow.

 

Exits are LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN, and UP.

ROOM A3

 

This is a bathroom. You see a claw-foot tub, a sink, and an ancient and rusted toilet. Around the toilet are the remnants of the broken flush chain.

 

Exits are LEFT, RIGHT, and DOWN.
