Gilleholmen: A fantasy adventure text game

New game at textadventures/quest, play in browser.

Gilleholmen

Gilleholmen is a fantasy adventure set in a paradise of the past. It is an old school text based game: as in Zork you interact only by reading and writing. The game is non-violent: no fights, deaths, or dead ends, and the ambience is more like Myst than Zork.

This is my first game. Comments welcome!

gave it a look but the game kept getting ‘stuck’ (the dialog box would stop accepting focus or input). had to refresh to unstick but that starts the game over.

using safari on macos

Thanks for trying it. That’s disappointing. I normally use chrome, but when I try on safari on macos it also works fine for me. Refreshing restarts the game (on both safari and chrome), that must be some kind of bug on the platform, I didn’t know that. I’ll check with textadventure. A workaround is to save before you refresh.

i tried again with chrome and have not had the “sticking” issue so far.

i haven’t gotten very far but the writing is good, clean but atmospheric. all the appropriate items and scenery are well-implemented.

one typo: “There are comics that I only partially undestand.”

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!
