Overview

About this game

Run TavernQuest is a role-reversing twist on old school text adventure games. You're the command parser and game master, overseeing the game's inner workings for a player named STEVE. Can you guide STEVE away from his poor decisions so he can save the princess?

In this game, you won't be typing. Instead, STEVE is the player and he types commands to you, often very bizarre ones. Your job is to interpret his words and choose how the adventure proceeds. The choices you make can lead him down drastically different paths, but it's ultimately up to STEVE to win the game.

Features

  • Fully narrated, featuring the very talented Jack Dundon

  • Control the environment and every NPC as they respond to STEVE's stupid commands

  • Engage in text-based combat where your goal is to lose every time

  • Customizable font and grayscale mode for enhanced readability
