Hello all, I’m trying to find a game and was wondering if anyone could help (sorry if this is the wrong forum),
It’s a text adventure, made no later than early/mid 90s, and the protagonist is either in hell, or purgatory. They travel a strange underworld, crossing an ocean and walking through fields, gaining items, solving puzzles and the like. You may ask for hints in each location. The most memorable part I recall is the first puzzle, in which you are lost, and can only pray.
Have been looking for this for some time, if anyone has any ideas please share!
It might be Perdition’s Flame by Michael Roberts, the author of TADS.
It’s a great old school puzzler. To see if it fits your memory, it features a long scene where you visit the mortal world as essentially a poltergeist or ghost, but most of it is spent walking around hell solving puzzles.
From what I recall mathbrush, it had quite a grim undertone and little if any satire, objects and locations were more medieval. You were not a poltergeist but it was hinted you were dead or a ghost of sorts, as were everyone else. Could never complete it either, so I don’t remember the ending.
