This reminds me a bit of the old Zork text games, which have a similar "you're in a dungeon, and to win you must perform actions in a certain order" structure. Considering I like Zork, this is definitely interesting me.
If you're an old-timey Zork player, definitely check out "DROD: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder" on Steam. It's a terrific game, and the developer is the same one behind this Kickstarter.
5:11 strange the other guard didn't hear you, and lets you take the potion. It doesn't feel thematically right. Nice you didn't solve it. But $18 for a pdf I still have to print, no thanks. I won't pay more than $10 for pnp.
@@rahdo Way back in the day, when computer games were all text-based, there was a game that ran on mainframes that had two areas - one in which a large number of rooms had the description, "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike" and another which said "You are in a little maze of twisty passages, all different," with the words shuffled around in each room. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure
Not sure how I feel about this. I definitely liked the idea at first, but then I realized this is 100% a puzzle solving game, and as most puzzles, it has a fairly low replay value. I think I have to see more to decide if Iit is something I will enjoy, but so far it is quite low on my priority list.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on TLP! Yes, this is a puzzle solving game and you'll have to decide if you think you'll enjoy solving puzzles like these.
oh, make no mistake. there's almost zero replay here. you could finish it, and then put it on a shelf, and then come back in a couple of years, and you'd probably be stumped by some of the tougher puzzles again, but that's not the intent of this book. it's to enjoy the puzzles, and once it's done, it makes a fantastic gift to give to other fantasy/puzzle lovers in your life :)

Thanks for your interest! Yes, adventures like the Zork games are a source of inspiration for Twisty Little Passages.

you are a very sneaky and stealthy thief. it's right there on the first page :)
Ahem...I like this. But I also enjoy Sudoku. Can't we have a world with both? :)
(Great preview!)
That's right. I agree it's not an either-or proposition :)
Once you discover jigsaw sudoku you won't like regular sudoku.
This is an great-looking game idea. I have always loved doing puzzles, so this looks really appealing!
Are the twisty little passages all different or all alike?
not sure i understand the question. they're all different puzzles to solve.
