Game Jam Assistant is a text adventure written in Inform 7.
It’s playable on the web.
There is no graphics or audio in this game, so I opted out of those categories. I followed the Compo rules, but I had no time at all on Sunday to work on it so I'm submitting in Jam.
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:
- Looking at things, e.g. “look at rope” or “examine rope” or "read rope" (ok, that one doesn't make sense for ropes. But it does make sense for written things!), or the usual short form “x rope”.
- Look at everything, including yourself! “look at self” or “look at me”.
- Picking things up. “take rope” or “get rope”.
- Talking to someone. "talk to merchant" or "say hello to merchant" (in this game, you don't have to say anything specific, so just "talk to merchant" is all you need)
- Moving around. "go north", "go west", "go south", "go east", or their short forms "n", "w", "s", "e"
- Giving something to someone. "Give rope to merchant"
Many other verbs work too. (there are no ropes or merchants in this game)
Look at everything, including yourself!
NPCs in this game are named after other LD participants. Thanks to them for letting me use their name!
