The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Forum quest adventure games?

Good night here!

I want to say - I'm huge fan of quest games, and I like interactive forum stories.
When some 2D quest adventure is transfered to sequence of drawn pictures and texts, when people via posts-commands tell what character should do to solve puzzles and move forward.

Such good stories in right hands usually have incredible atmosphere, tension, strong plot, and joy...
So in one day, after reading archive of one such story-game, I decided to make something like this!

And till this day, I made a couple of them on different forums. And I think one day I may enter here with new story. :D

But first, I want to listen you guys and gals - what do you think about such game-stories? Do you like something like this? Are there such games in Party section already that I didn't see?

It sounds a lot like a table top RPG if I'm understanding this right. So it sounds like someone is a game master that draws out what happens and the players say what their characters do?

Sudden bump. Oo

Ok, after people didn't get interested in this, I decided to not start here any new games in such genre.

Still, I was wondering if there's a small chance that such type of forum game would be at least tiny interested and popular here, so... I decided to launch here my OLD game. :D

It's unfinished project I started in long 2013 in different community, when in one deep night when I wasn't sleeping, I SUDDENLY, without any plans or pre-thoughts, I run to kitchen, opened my netbook, opened Paint, and drew first room in less than a minute, and immediately started a new topic. It was simple Room Escape Quest forum game, drawn in Paint, and played by some people.
Sad it was abandoned by me in the middle of action. :( But who knows, maybe (attempt of) running it here would give me inspiration to finish it at last!

Let experimental fun begins!
