Explore a coastal settlement built around the rim of a flooded crater, and discover the stories of its people.

A text-based adventure and roguelike walking simulator made by a group of UC students as part of a 5 week summer course PROD226: Narrative Design for Interactive Media, starting from the following brief: “Work in a small group to design geographic locations and encounters for an open world text-based adventure game.”

Features

• Explore a 2D world of glyph tiles with biomes inspired by Whakaraupō and Akaroa harbours
• Navigate rich storylet interactions with quests and state tracking
• Discover the truth of mysteries and rumours around the crater—what you choose to do with this information will impact on the characters and their world
