Title: One-room AGS games
Post by: Isxek on Mon 27/03/2006 03:22:35

Hi -

Could anyone point me to either a mid-size or a short AGS game that involves the player being in only one room only? I already have in mind "The Elevator" and other games in the One Room-One Week comp, but if you could point me to others, I'd appreciate it.

I'm looking for some visual inspiration for a similar comp being held within the Interactive Fiction community, and since I've been playing a lot of AGS games lately, I thought I'd ask here first for the best ones.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to any recommendations.

There must be a place that lists all one room games, but I couldn't find it....Anyway:

Ok Just went through short games and here is what I came up with
for one room games

Alone in the Night (done very well)
Bad Luck
Rude Awakening
Heart of Abraxas
The Bar (This was done very well)
The Tomb of the Moon

My own game (link in my signature) involves only one room, at least apparently. Instead of the player traversing from room to room, it travels through time, while remaining in the same room.

Thanks for your recommendations. I've already gone partially through some of them (finished Edmundo's "Saturday School" with Joyce's help before) and I'm about to dive into the ones you listed after a few days.

There was a list of OROW games posted somewhere in the forums, I believe. Either it was strazer or m0ds who posted the link where you can get all the OROW entrants, but I already have the link.

Thanks again.

Here's the OROW3 thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=24676.0
All games in that except for Science! are one room games.

And here's OROW2: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=21575.0
Although the links in that one are not working. The two first OROW entry archive files are hosted somewhere, tho. I just don't remember where... Â¬Â¬

Don't forget, "Little Johnny Evil"! Ah, a quite diabolical game. Very inspiring ;D

Oui, and perhaps check out Earwig Is Angry! Only features a couple of rooms if I remember rightly :)

OROW entries archive (http://aafiles.bicycle-for-slugs.org/orow/). I think it's got all the entries from all three OROW compos, but I'm not sure, and can't be bothered checking threads to find out.

Short game, one room, with lots of comedically violent things happening to a short man made predominently of blue sticks:

ShortCUT (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?category=0&action=detail&id=534&refresh1112558440)

You may enjoy Dance Til' You Drop if you're into quirky 80's humor and Richard Simmons.

Incidentally, I think I'm going to start OROW4 on the 22nd of this month, so make space in your diaries!
