Epic Hero #1 continues, with another bad pun, an island British demon woman (??), cryptic messages that don't get used, and an author self-insert scene.

I did a bit more work on the HyperText engine: UI/UX, sharpened the writing direction, etc.

in which All the Adventures returns to England with Epic Hero #1: Ocean Hunt

containing a bloodthirsty merchant

an extremely bad pun leading to an existential crisis

My conclusion to the grand cinematic experiment for PC-88 from XTAL SOFT in Japan, Cosmo Cross. I get past the adventure section and reach a mysterious planet full of monoliths, and a cutscene which aspires for an era far past its time.

Initially, I was just fooling around, creating code snippets to see how it all may fit together. Quick, dirty hacks you know.

But somehow things got more and more refined and today I was able to test my little two-word #textadventure #game #parser by walking between two rooms.
