New Text Adventure: Resistance
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2019 9:51 pm
Andy McDermott has just released his totally retro Quilled adventure 'Resistance'.
"Take on the role of young Mari Roux and do your part against the Nazis who have invaded France."
It may look like just your average Quilled game, from back in the day. But it's brilliant... very well constructed. A nice compact map of locations, with virtually every place being utilised several times. You quickly get to know the town and really feel part of events. Amazing how much atmosphere and a sense of place came be generated by such sparse writing. There are some excellent moments of tension and all the puzzles make sense, and don't require mind-reading to solve. It's a super little game. Very enjoyable.
