Tiny Text Adventure

Julian Churchill

About this game

Embark on an adventure - just a small one - an adventure in the amazing realm of text! Go North, South, Up, Down, into a cupboard, out of a cupboard, the possibilities are endless in your imagination. In this game however the possibilities are finite and are likely to be quickly exhausted but not before you've had a tiny adventure all of your own.

This game harks back to the original text adventures of the authors youth - Colossal Cave, Sphinx Adventure, Zork. Experience a tiny subset of the majesty of this genre without the painful need to actually type text on a mobile device.

Ratings and reviews

Great fun. Not nearly as it could have been, more than one mini quest to complete, then one or two rounding-off touches to find after the game is officially over. Satisfying story, never (that I came across) misleading or making me feel let down, intelligently written. The humour is right up my street :) most of it subtle with, here n there, Pythonesque moments. Pleasant, smooth interface. Hints and walkthrough are "just enough". I love text adventures but find them hard to enjoy when thumb typing; this system gets round that. No suggestions for improvement! (I could suggest adding the ability to reorder items in the inventory but on the other hand that could distract.) I'd like to get to know the shopkeeper better, hope we see more of him in TTA2. Thanks Julian - please keep producing these!

1. The Programmer DID do a good job on this. 2. For sure get this game if u like text based games. Definitely get it. 3. This game has CONSIDERABLY less frustration than type text type the exact correct verb nouns. 4. Great for parent/child interaction.

Great little game. I love the map I ended up making throughout my jouney. I got 100% but it bothers me I was unable to feed the friar, lol. Not sure if it is possible. Hope not. But I had a great time, thank you for this fun & free game. I will be buying the 2nd one.
