Subject: Country House 1.0. An illustrated IF story 128k.
COUNTRY HOUSE is illustrated, interactive fiction. The environment and
characters are - on the whole - historically credible. They didn't exist in
eighteenth century Sweden, but they could have done so.
You move and get informations the usual interactive way, that is by
typing commands and clicking objects. You are not to collect swords to kill
monsters or to search keys to unlock doors. There will be a few ghosts and
some supernatural events here. But you won't risk your life, neither by
hunger nor thirst. A fall through a window won't hurt you much. You can
study a map whenever you like, but it will reveal no secrets. Your task is
to gather information, to do historical research.
COUNTRY HOUSE 1.0 is developed in StoryMaker 1.0 by James Burton.
The game is distributed as freeware. It's my first attempt in this genre.
People who try it and decide to keep it are requested to send comments.
