The Bony King Of Nowhere by NecroDeath

Review Kmo73

Nice game although, even though you cant die, if you do things in the wrong order you can't go any further - As I've just found out :/

Hi Andypandy!

If you type 'hints' and scroll down you will see my email address, drop me a line and I'll give you a hint, rather than posting spoilers on here.

Best,

Comment ajevans

really good game but need a hint! I have the virgin mary cocktail, know i need to add something to it to cure the cooper of his hangover but I've tried everything I can think of, and despite feeding that cat 3 different kinds of fish there is no way past him!

Review Jamex

It is a fun story with some good challenges. It does not follow the typical word commands however, and that can be a little frustrating. Overall, it is a decent play. I would recommend adding some of the typical word commands to broaden the accepted responses so that your players are stuck on the challenges, not on choosing the right wording.

Comment NecroDeath

Thanks, just played though and couldn't recreate the error, very odd.

Anyway thanks again for taking the time to give some feedback, much appreciated, this is only my second game so I'm learning a lot!

By the way the pigeon has plenty of gossip if you talk to him

I don't know, just typed ride the horse, it did what it does, and halfway down the resulting text was a script error - not sure what it was meant to do so it may or may not be important!

Comment NecroDeath

Thanks for the feedback, if you want/need a direct hint please email me: address is in the help file when you type 'hints' at anytime in the game.

Sorry about some of the visible objects not having sufficient aliases....was bound to miss a few, I'll go back and have a look at that.

What was the error when riding the horse? That's never happened before.

Cheers,
NeceoDeath

There is also an error running script when you get on the horse

Review kendrafortune

Good points - there are a lot of fun puns, I really like the humour. The puzzles are tricky without being too obscure.
Bad points - it's frustrating how many objects are referred to in scenery descriptions but then "aren't there" when you try and interact with them, especially once you get to the city. (eg.
Jack the Landlord is referred to as the barman but then when you try and talk to "the barman" the word isn't recognised.) Conversely there are a lot of items that you can interact with which you can't see immediately in the room description and you have to look at another object to find it, even though if you were in the room it would be readily apparent that the object was there because it isn't in a container.

Ah... note to self: use jug with pump is not the same as use pump with jug!!!

Comment kendrafortune

So I have a Letter, an apple, a broken fishing rod, a chipped mug, a shovel, an axe, a rope, a jug of cider, a bottle, a scroll, a lump of cheese, a business card and a dog hair. There's a comatose miller and a broken bridge. Baffled about what I'm doing with that lot!

Review Shadon1010

Had the pleasure of beta testing this game during it's development. It's a fun, charming story filled with Pratchett-esque fantasy comedy, and with a nice mix of puzzles including riddles & item combination which will test you mentally. I'm excited to see further stories from NecroDeath in the future, so for the time being, definitely give this one a go!
