A downloadable prototype for Windows

This is a prototype for an in-progress text adventure game. I had to suspend development on the full game, but I still wanted to complete something playable, so I made this prototype.

I promise the full game isn't abandoned! I originally had to shelve it to focus on college game dev/programs, but I made decent progress on it and will continue to work on it starting around November 2022. I have no idea how long it will take to make, but it shouldn't take longer than several months. But I'm also terrible at estimating how long things take, so who knows!

This specific prototype won't receive any updates (outside of a  port to Unity for Windows, WebGL, and Linux), but I will be making a full text adventure game with the same writing style/tone.

Install instructions

Just unzip and run the game. Do not remove the game file from the folder or it won't work (it needs to be in the same folder as the text files). The game uses Java to run.

Cool prototype man! Any way I could talk you into sharing the source for this?

Sure, once I get some time to find it, though I'm not entirely sure how I would share it. Also, just so you know, the code is a mess lol. Thanks for playing it, though!

This is a fun game! Are you still working on it?

This is just a prototype, so I'm not really working on this specific one anymore. I just wanted to actually finish a project. I am working on text adventure escape games like this, though, with the same style of writing. I don't know when they'll be done, as an ARG I'm working on atm is taking priority.
