Aliard’s Tome

Years ago, a quest attempted by yourself, Malhek, in the Demon Dungeons of
Cail had gone wrong and as you prepared to die you were rescued. The wizard
Aliard had entered the Dungeons with his Tome of Magic Spells and managed to
find you and take you back outside to safety. Problem is, the Tome was dropped
and lost and now years later with Aliard getting old and feeble, the Tome is
needed to cast the Spell of Rebirth to save Aliard’s life. As a thank you for
your rescue you have vowed to enter the Dungeons once more to retrieve the
book but the monsters and creatures are stronger and where there were once
lanterns lighting the way, they have all gone out leaving the place in
darkness.

_Aliard’s Tome_ is a text adventure where the screen has text describing each
location you visit and you type in commands with the keyboard to interact with
your surroundings. As the Dungeon is in darkness, you get a brief glimpse of
each room and any objects there are before the text disappears, but finding
matches allows you to get another glimpse at each room when lit. You also have
health to keep an eye on and as you explore it slowly decreases but items can
be find to increase it. You can carry multiple items but carrying over 40lbs
decreases your health quicker.
