And you don't have to pay or install anything to play some text-based games. Instead, you can play them right now in your web browser. Here are some great text-adventure games available to play online.
As it was specifically created for first-time interactive fiction players, The Dreamhold is an excellent way to get acquainted with this genre. Aside from its relatively short length and low difficulty, the game also features a "tutorial voice" that gives you hints throughout the experience. If you're not a novice, you can still enjoy The Dreamhold, though.
Just type tutorial off to disable that part of the game. And if you'd like even more of a challenge, type expert to enter Expert mode, which makes some puzzles harder. As for the game itself, the plot here revolves around you waking up inside a cell. You don't remember how you got there, and need to explore to figure it out. Zork is an early and well-known text adventure. Originally launched in the late s, it has survived the test of time due to its high quality of storytelling and advanced text recognition.
For such an old game, the text parser is not particularly picky about what you enter. As it turns out, Zork is actually split into three parts. This first one starts you in front of a white house with no further instructions. After working your way into the house, you'll begin the adventure properly and need to collect as much treasure as you can.
Zork supports saving and restoring, and you can even change how much information the game gives you about new locations using the brief and verbose commands. Hopefully, this lists of little gems will be helpful on your quest to discover interesting productions that will stir your imagination. Among the many types and kinds of stories everyone is bound to finding something special.
After all, the whole genre was named after it. The world-shattering breakthrough happened in when William Crowther wrote the game to cheer up his two young children after the divorce.
It was the text-based production, involving an exploration of a cave, resembling the real Colossal Cave, but not free of supernatural elements like for instance dwarves. The game uses a verb-noun parser and only typing appropriate commands can save us from the impending doom of getting lost in a labyrinth or a surprise death that can occur without any previous notification.
Since the game was released, it was changed and expanded numerous times by different authors, who added new challenges or rooms into it. Still, no matter the version, Adventure is a milestone in game development.
Some big quest have a very unheroic beginnings. S Feinstein — a starship of the Stellar Patrol. The fate, however, gives us a chance to prove ourselves when, after the catastrophe, our escape pod crashes on a deserted planet. Finding an unlikely ally, a friendly robot called Floyd, we need to unravel the secret of the civilisation who suddenly abandoned their home.
At least two things makes Planetfall memorable. The first one is certainly our sidekick, Floyd. The other thing is a bit more controversial because the game is full of red herrings.
Figuring out which items are actually useless and which puzzles unsolvable, is actually the part of the gameplay. Still, despite that all the fans of s-f genre should at least try and embark on a journey with Floyd. Some of the productions are quite recent, like for instance Digital: A Love Story, which was developed by Christine Love and released in February Are you in a mood for a romance?
Soon we acquaint online a girl called Emilia and as we exchange messages with each other, the affection starts to bloom.
Not everything goes smoothly though, because due to some malfunction of the host computer we cannot make any contact with her. What would a heartsick person do? Try to find her, obviously. Try it out, especially if for some reason you feel leery of older games and still want to give interactive fiction a chance.
You might also want to watch the movie or, even better, play the game. It was released in and Adams himself had his hand in it. He is the protagonist, but the game allows us as well to play as Ford Prefect, Trillian or Zaphod Beeblebrox, so the fans of the originals should be pleased.
Some puzzles if not solved in an appropriate fashion, would infallibly result in not being able to beat the game at all. A walkthrough is thus recommended for less patient gamers. The ending also teases the sequel but it was never produced. Who said that the protagonist of a game must be an honest man? Playing as a cunning scoundrel can be at least as much fun. Or maybe even more.
Varicella, a game developed in by Adam Cadre, shows us an alternative history of the world, skilfully mixing together atmosphere and customs of Renaissance with fairly modern technology. The king has recently died and the prince is too young to rule on his own, so a regent needs to be chosen. Of course, we want to hold that position and in order to do that we must eliminate other candidates. Great writing, lots of dark humour, the opportunity to be really nasty and above all, the ending makes Varicella a great, unparalleled experience.
The highly praised title, which was created in by Daniel Ravipinto and Star Foster, is set in year in the Victorian London where magic is as easily encountered as steam-powered technology. We play here as Doctor Xavier, who works as … well, a doctor in Bedlam Asylum. Adding to this very atmospheric narration, great setting and overall enjoyability of experiencing the game, Slouching Towards Bedlam can be recommended to anyone seeking a good and engrossing story.
The newest game on the list and the one I had the pleasure of reviewing. Long story short, Cypher is set in a cyberpunkish city called NeoSushi formerly Tokyo…. One time though, something goes terribly wrong and Dog suddenly founds himself in a mortal danger. We need to find out who wants to kill us and we need to do it fast.
The game also incorporates some visuals and sound effects, which enhances immersion. Cypher got mixed reviews though, mainly due to very uncooperative parser as well as many grammatical errors and typos. The game, however, has been patched a few times, so right now playing it should be much more enjoyable experience. Just give it a try and you might be nicely surprised. After all, so many things may go wrong and result in you being switched into a frog.
