The Prison

An assignment for the Game  Design course at Futuregames.

The Prison is a text-based game in the vein of a Dungeons and Dragons game where the player must escape a prison. There is a short narrative and a meta narrative to the game.

The Prisoner is a resourceful and honourable character that finds himself in a cell with no recollection of how he got there. He wants to escape the prison and help others along the way if he can.

Caleb is a fellow prisoner that has fallen on hard times and needs your help. He is about your age, has unkempt black hair and looks frail. He wants to escape the prison.

The Dungeonmaster is the one leading the game. He is stubborn and has his idea of how the game should go. He wants you to follow his story and not veer off course.

The Warden is a dangerous and armored prison warden that will not allow anyone to escape the prison. While dangerous, he is slow because of his armor.

Escape the prison. Make sure the Dungeonmaster ends the game.
