This is a web-based game that attempts to capture some of the nostalgia from the old text-based adventure games (e.g. Zork).

Most of these old games pitted you against a text interpreter and the cunning mind of the game designer! Super Text Adventure replaces the latter with a real person.

Essentially it’s a glorified chat app, but the idea is to provide the dynamic nature of a DnD session with the graphical limitations of a text-based adventure.

This is a Rails app built with Hotwire.
