Do you remember the old days when text adventures where the best thing ever? When ZORK started a big video game revolution?

4dventure brings back those days!

4dventure is an easy to use text adventure environment. Just type a map using ASCII-charakters, assign functions to simple commands and be creative!

And if you need more than just that -- don't worry! All scripting you want can be done in Lua, a simple yet powerful programming language.

You can find the main repository at http://hg.ki-omniarts.de/4dventure/ where the newest version will always be available for you.

If you like you can also check out our github mirror at https://github.com/ki-omniarts/4dventure.
