🎮 The Game

Isles Away is the result of the Text-Based Game Jam (July, 2022).

We had one week to create a narrative-based game, where we could ONLY use a terminal. No audio was allowed and art was only allowed for illustrations.

This jam gave birth to my first ever story branch-heavy game.

It was quite the thrill as there was little time to come up with a story that would feel interesting to read and interactive enough.

I hope you like it and here's a bit about the story:

You and your three friends have stranded on an inhabited island. See what happens! (Yes, I do not want to spoil more!)

I used Unity to make this story-driven game a reality.

Ultimately, I ended up developing this game in about 25 hours time.

💬 EDIT: It's January 2023 and gave small updates to the game: 

1) Smaller font to fit the text more easily.

2) More spacing between story text, player text and input area.

3) You can now play a web version of the game instead of having to download it.

4) I added music in there, because it improves the experience of the story by making it more lively.


❤️ Enjoy and thanks for playing!
