Skip it if you…

Our take on Run TavernQuest
The role reversal defines the experience: STEVE types the commands, while the player interprets them and runs the adventure as game master.
What is Run TavernQuest?
Run TavernQuest turns the usual text-adventure role around: STEVE types commands, while the player acts as command parser and game master.
Interpret his often unusual requests, control the environment and NPC responses, and choose how events unfold. Decisions can send the adventure down different paths, but STEVE ultimately has to win and save the princess. Combat is text-based, with the player’s goal being to lose each encounter. The game is fully narrated, and includes options to change the font and use grayscale mode.
