The fantasy story “The Wizards and Stone”:
instead-games.ru/game.php?ID=297
Wizards from different kingdoms found out about the Stone of Power forgotten by the gods on the Black mountain. Which of them will reach the top, overcoming all obstacles?
The death of the wizard is not the end of the game and load the save game is usually useless. Just keep playing.
“Year 2027 AD.
The crew of the mission “Mars One” landed on Mars. The task of the mission-to build the first Martian base and to prepare for the meeting of the second crew.
You-the engineer Alexander Morozov, one of the four settlers. Today, after assembling the last residential module, you first had the opportunity to explore the area of the base.
Put on a suit and took the necessary equipment, you’re going to airlock module…”

Engine INSTEAD (Simple Text Adventure, The Interpreter) has received a new module (МЕТАПАРСЕР3), which allows to develop games with text input (yep, this is true parser). First game using this control method was the game “the OTHER MARS”. The game is written based on the stories of R. Shackley and is licensed under the CC-SA. In addition to the module text input the game uses graphic and sound capabilities of the engine INSTEAD.
INSTEAD 3.3.0 is out! Changes are:
new: input:text() event;
new: tiny instead for metaparser;
new: https://t.me/ifquestbot, vk and discord bots;
enh: english documentation, http://club.syscall.ru/s/download/stead3-en.pdf;
enh: Android port;
fix: list:add() and order;
fix: some compilation warnings;
fix: makefile and source code cleanups;
fix: possible segfault;
fix: do not eat keyboard input;
enh: emscripten port builded with -s WASM=1
Binary builds will be available as soon as they are ready.

You may think this game is about a post-Soviet Research Institute. About an experiment that went out of control. You may think that the initials «I.A.G.» are somehow related to the Institute. You may think this game is unfinished. You may even think that the game ends exactly as the author tells you.
But then you will figure it out – these statements are not entirely true.
- There are two endings in this game.
- Credits roll at the end of the game.
- If you do not see the credits roll, you haven’t reached the end of the game. Yet.
This game has got 18th place out of 77 entries at IFComp 2018.
Congrations!!!
