I made an offline, parser based text adventure game for PC Windows (XP and above - 32/64bit) in the classic style. Written and coded in TAB for Windows. “The Abbey of the Hidden Rose”. If interested PM for itch url and password.
Regards,
Catventure.

(I’ll send you a PM about playtesting. Having just released a parse game about roses and an abbey and prominently featuring a cat, I’m pretty much obligated 
)
Curious: What’s TAB? Is it The tab programming language. ?

Is this for TALJ? I can’t help since I run Linux, but hidden things in abbeys are always fun!

Thanks, @BadParser . Googling “programming language tab” mostly resulted in people arguing about emacs settings.

Ah, the nostalgia… CAT was one of the first IF languages I tried to learn. Even if I had to learn an alt-code for a character that was completely foreign to me.
I remember trying to write a horror-type game with red text on black background. I remember it looked so cool, even if it was a bit hard to read. Ah, if I could only go back in time and slap my former self so hard for thinking “cool” trumps “accessibility”.
