-

Pixel Prose par Tarjan is an english text adventure game for Amstrad CPC (and C64) written in Locomotive Basic and assembler without librairies or framework in 40 columns

You wake in a place older than logic and stranger than myth. Light filters through fractal leaves. A paddle hums beneath the soil. Arkanoid is blooming. Lemmings have fallen. Ghosts wait to be eaten.

This is a text adventure. But not like you remember. Or maybe exactly like you remember - if you remember it from somewhere deeper.

Solve puzzles. Eat ghosts. Free the Architect.
