Pixel Prose [Commodore 64], [Amstrad CPC]
A downloadable game
A forest dreams in 8-bit
You wake in a place older than logic and stranger than myth.
Light filters through fractal leaves.
A paddle hums beneath the soil.
Arkanoid is blooming. Lemmings have fallen.
Ghosts wait to be eaten.
This is a text adventure.
But not like you remember.
Or maybe exactly like you remember -
if you remember it from somewhere deeper.
Written in BASIC and machine code for the C64 and Amstrad CPC.
No parser libraries. No modern frameworks.
Just memory, moss, and myth, woven into 40 columns.
Solve puzzles. Eat ghosts. Free the Architect.

It looks like an interesting text adventure. I added it to my new video with other recently released games. I hope you like it.
Thank you for playing and presenting it!
As a kid I really liked text adventures. They looked like magical interactive books to me.
I must try this out ;)
Have fun!
They still are magical interactive books. :-)
