A homebrew parser game that leans on classic tropes, May 2, 2018This is a parser game written in C++. I played it on my own at first, but after I found it had trouble responding to several commands (and crashed after a few unexpected commands) I resorted to the walkthrough.
This game leans heavily on old text adventure cliches, especially making homages to Curses! and, perhaps, Scott Adams games.
Several scenes from Curses! are exactly reproduced, such as the delicately balanced key and the spade joke.
The worldbuilding was fairly well done, but I can't recommend this one due to the difficulties of the parser.
