Next on All the Adventures, I embark on a story that starts during WW2 and the founding of a publishing company

passing through accounting textbooks and innovations in erotic scholarship

and landing at the first all-text adventure game written in Japanese.

My interactive fiction The Spirit in the Door, as well as the jam game The Final Deed are available as one of many cool and creepy ghost stories in the Ghost Stories Bundle: https://itch.io/b/3601/ghost-stories

in which I give a history of the famous D&D module Tomb of Horrors, and explain why it connects to adventure games more strongly than other modules

and return to a Sol-20 game with an open mystery about its mazes, even though we have a complete walkthrough

the grand conclusion of Dungeon of Derojhen

where a familiar foe returns

and I observe why Epic Hero 2's Experimentalism design philosophy didn't grate me as much as it has with other fantasy games

Epic Hero 2 (Dungeons of the improbably spelled Derojhen) continues, as I theorize about Signalism vs. Experimentalism in game design and drag a vampire in to visit the king.

Méga mise à jour sur T'es pas seule !

Vel, Calice et Morrigan, d’un commun accord, se mettent en route pour aller vaincre la crise trônant au sommet du donjon BDSM de la succube. Le chemin s’annonce difficile, éprouvant et semé d’embûches et de secrets profondément enfouis !

Pendant leur périple, chacun en apprend un peu plus sur leur monde, leur passé et leurs pouvoirs. D’où viennent les crises ? Pourquoi se manifestent-elle ? Morrigan peut-elle pécho Vel ? Autant de questions qui trouveront réponse dans cette suite !

C'est ici que ça se passe 👉 https://switch-b.itch.io/am-i-not-one

In which I give the history of the founding of Enix, the (in)famous contest which they used to solicit their first round of games, and the utterly bizarre Seiko's Adventure, which comes close to being the most surreal game I've ever played for the blog.

I wanted to share a fun little text adventure game I made a couple of years back for a friend's birthday. He's big into D&D homebrew, and he was in the middle of creating a world called Endaria for his group to play several campaigns in. I made him a birthday card with references and clues to get to this game on the web, and he really enjoyed it.

My game is nothing fancy and very short, but I had a lot of fun making it and I just wanted to share the fun. Enjoy!
