I’ve been writing an Inform game set in a medieval monastery, where you play a young monk trying to investigate a mysterious death. I’ve had a really helpful first round of playtesters, so now I have a unit-tested and human-tested game that works. However, I’d love any help having an additional round of playtesters to try it to see if there are any missing-synonyms/had-to-guess-verbs/puzzle hints kind of fixes. People who aren’t IF experts or have never play tested before would be very welcome, since you can bring a valuable viewpoint.
The game includes a map (not just for testers; it’s an open map for players, too), as well as a full hint system and a walkthrough.
If you might be interested, send me a message and I’ll send a link.
About five people have completed the game. The shortest time was 2 hours, from a group effort of my local IF group (who play lots of the these games!). Others have taken 4+ hours, and have used some of the built-in hints.
Of course, any feedback is helpful — so even if you only have time for part of the game, I’d welcome it.
I’ve submitted my game to Spring Thing, so I need to send them the game by the end of the month. But even if that doesn’t fit your timeline, I’ll still welcome any testing.
