Wisdom of the Ancients is a text adventure, written in inform7.
It’s playable on the web.
There is no graphics or audio in this game, so I opted out of those categories.
I have included a solution (only the commands I typed to get to the end) and a transcript (The commands and the output of the game). This solution is reasonably complete and looks at all the essential things, but do explore on your own!
If you have never played a game like this before, you basically type what you want to do and the game responds. What you need for this particular game:
- Going in various directions. You'll need "go north" (or "north" or even just "n" for short), "south", "east", "west", "up", "down" (all can be shortened)
- Looking at things, e.g. "look at rope" or "examine rope", or the usual short form "x rope". Look at everything!
- Picking things up. "take rope" or "get rope"
- Putting things down. "drop *thing*"
- Using things. You can type "use rope" or "use rope on *other thing*", and there are several verbs to do the specific thing, e.g. "tie rope to *other thing*"
- Stand on things "stand on *thing*"
Have a look at the solution or the transcript to make things clear if needed.
