Quicksand
Quicksand is a new and free text adventure game for RISC OS computers, in which you play the role of Stan Tyler from Soft Rock Software.
You were in an accident, and you woke up dressed like some kind of 1970s throwback in what looks like some form of interactive fiction! What's going on? Are you in a coma? Have you gone mad? Or have you really been transformed into binary data?
The only way to find out is to play the game...
The game has been written using Trellis and is provided free of charge from this website. Any rumours that may claim this is because it's so simple are completely true - this game is so simple, it's stunningly simple! Can you fail to complete it in a fairly short timescale?
The game is, by default, text only and runs in MODE 15, so should work on any RISC OS computer with RISC OS 3.1 or higher.
If you have a RiscPC or later with 1 megabyte of video RAM, running RISC OS 3.5/SpriteExtend 0.99 or higher, then you can also download the graphics for the game; with the graphics installed it runs in a much higher resolution.
You can download this brand new game from Soft Rock's website.
