This was so much fun. Reminded me of the old Sierra games I used to play as a child. Two thumbs up, from me. Easily one of my top 10 Jam entries this year!
My only problem, the character seemed to keep walking even tho the arrows were not pressed. But, that's a minor issue considering how much fun the game is!
Btw, if you ever are in the mood for something not-fun-at-all but, I think, interesting, have a look at my project on male clinical depression I uploaded today: An Interview. Any feedback is welcome!
Good luck with the jam!
Fuck Yeaaaahhhh!!! I love AGI games!! Or SCI... Doesn't matter... But, is it Textparser!? Please tell me it's Textparser!!
This was amazing! And frustrating. I don't know whether I want to shake your hand or punch you right in the face :)
I persevered and made it to the end though!
I made a video of my playthrough: https://youtu.be/cKllUFX2Vw8
Great, I got stairsphobia now. This was awesome and I loved it and I also hate you, even more so because I know my hate will make you chuckle. I hope you all live in some tall building and your elevator stops working right when you're carrying ice cream to put in the freezer. Hugs! Agh! This game drove me crazy. Fantastic writing by the way.
This game is tough as nails and tricky to maneuver. I'm currently "stuck" on the third screen and by the looks of it, there are many more that will follow! Definitely recommend trying this, as it's not a big download.

Stair Quest is a retro adventure game that pays homage to the most enchanting, pulse-pounding moments from the early King's Quest games.
The realm of Castle's Wood is in despair.
As famine, war, disease, and natural disaster wreak havoc upon the land, good King Jonathan seeks the counsel of a wise old Soothsayer.
"Seek ye out the Orb of Stars," she tells King Jonathan.
Says the King, "The Orb of Stars is but a legend!"
The Soothsayer replies with a sly grin, "Even in legend may one find the truth, m'lord."
So, King Jonathan dispatches his bravest knight, Sir Devon, to quest for the legendary Orb of Stars. Little does he know his own daughter, Princess Ingrid, has also set out in search of the legendary relic...
Features
Gorgeous EGA graphics inspired by classic Sierra On-Line adventure games like King's Quest and The Black Cauldron!
An innovative text parser that recognizes literally thousands of commands!
Multiple protagonists! Choose to play as either the brave Sir Devon or the daring Princess Ingrid.
An original 8-bit soundtrack so good it could pass as a 9-bit soundtrack!
An old-school instruction manual filled with Stair Quest lore and important tips for success! So authentic, it could have been written by Roberta Williams herself. (It wasn't.)
