Our next game is The Perfect Quest: The Drowned King’s Hoard, a short comedy text adventure inspired by the Sierra classics. It is coming soon to Steam for Windows.
A pirate with a hat and no ship
Captain Z has a hat, seventeen doubloons and a title nobody believes. Ten years he swabbed Blackheart Briggs’ decks; this morning he quit. Then he hears the rumour: the Hoard of the Drowned King is real, and Briggs is already hunting for it. First, Z needs a boat. Any boat.
Type what you want to do
There is no list of verbs to click. Walk with the arrow keys, type LOOK, TAKE, USE THE PLANKS ON THE QUICKSAND or GIVE THE FISH TO THE GUARD, and talk to everyone. The parser understands how people actually type, and a sarcastic parrot tags along with hints for wherever you are stuck.
- Four acts across seven islands: from a run-down tavern to a skull-shaped mountain at the end of the map
- Classic deaths, each with a joke and an epitaph, and TRY AGAIN to rewind a moment
- A sword fight on the beach with your old captain: read his moves and drive him into the sea
- An original soundtrack for every island
- 255 points for completionists, and a secret or two under the waves
