"Text Game" is a game I started paying attention to some time ago. Although I haven't had the chance to actually work, it's unique and even reveals a kind of "giving up treatment" that is really impressive.
In the world of "Text Game", players need to play an extremely routine brave man, wake up from the room, think about their mission, embark on a short journey, and try and strengthen themselves. But the first question before you is how to get out of the room in front of you.
Look around and you find that there is no door in this room. A desk with six Chinese characters written in the corner of the room was almost the only prompt in the room.
"In the drawer of the desk, there are five flowers and eight 'doors' document tools."
When the storyteller reads the above sentence in the room, the "door" leading to the next world appears out of thin air.
, this is the core of the game. Isn’t it more interesting to find text that is helpful to the current situation from the full screen or sentences, or interact directly with it to promote the change of the game world?
Of course, if you just look for words, the gameplay will be too monotonous. In the trial version, the producer prepared three artifacts for the brave to test the player's sensitivity to text. These three pieces of equipment that are also based on fonts or meanings can either move Chinese characters or split radicals, making the gameplay quite scalable.
Actually, when I first came into contact with "Text Game", another work that also uses text to make games. Baba is you, developed by a Finnish independent game manufacturer. This one has worked hard on the meaning of the word, and the level of creativity and puzzle design can only be described as "genius".
Although the puzzle of "Word Game" is far less complicated than the "genius" of its predecessor, with the help of a special language of Chinese, it also shows similar but completely different fun. Many puzzles based on complete sentences test the language logic ability of players and creators from the perspective of the situation.
Currently, there is not much trial content for "Text Game", but it ensures that players can fully understand the framework of this game and experience the unique fun between Chinese lines.
