Run TavernQuest

A classic text adventure - but you're not the one playing it. You're the game master for an idiot player named STEVE. Parse the player's enigmatic commands and decide how NPCs react to him. Who knew that running an RPG would be so frustrating?

Screenshots

From the Steam store

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
