Title: The Curse of Rabenstein released
Post by: CFox on 11:43, 27 March 20
Search didn't find anything, so sorry if this is already posted somewhere.


This multiformat graphic-/text adventure game has also been released for CPC. I haven't yet tested it myself, but it sure looks good!


https://8bitgames.itch.io/rabenstein (https://8bitgames.itch.io/rabenstein)


It is downloadable with a "name your price" scheme and also physical copies will be available.


Game was also featured on indieretronews article, but it wasn't tagged for Amstrad, so it doesn't pop up if using filters:

PolyPlay does a good job...

Downloaded it and played it a bit. So far it's very good! The texts are very well written, and so far the parser, though limited, is not a burden. The graphics are quite beautiful, and drawn in a rather unusual way for a CPC (they have a C64 feeling, which is where they must have been drawn first I guess).

I played it last week and finished it. It's a little short but it's very good with atmospheric text and the graphics are excellent too. I'm very tempted to buy the polyplay release on top of the itch.io version I already own.

I had fun with this one, there's maybe one section that had me stumped early on, apart from that I think I whizzed through it in about two to three hours. Short but sweet! I think the point and click replaced these types of games, which is a shame as I think there's still room for both.
