The Experiment
English is not my native language, so I apologize for any mistakes I may have made. Although I have received the generous help of some friends, translating an adventure is such a complex task that there are likely things that have escaped their correction. If you find any errors or anything you think could be improved, I apologize again and kindly ask you to let me know. Thank you in advance. The game The Experiment is a text adventure for the Zx Spectrum 128K. It follows the traditional mechanics of this kind of games and it has a medium duration and difficulty. To play The Experiment, you need a real 128k Spectrum or an emulator program like Retro Virtual Machine. The history "You have woken up chained in a dark cell, with no idea how you got there. A monstrous jailer is your only company. Your goal is to escape alive." Tips The game follows the classic structure of text adventures. If you have never played one, you should keep in mind: The main directions are N, S, E, and W, and they will be shown on the screen in the “exits” box. Other directions such as ENTER, EXIT, UP, or DOWN may or may not appear in that box, marked with red arrows (GET IN, UP) or blue ones (GET OUT, DOWN). The most common verbs are TAKE, DROP, TALK, HIT, BREAK, etc. If less common verbs are needed, they will be indicated in the game text. Commands usually follow the structure “TAKE STICK,” but sometimes they may require more detail, such as “TAKE STICK WITH GLOVE.” You can type MAP at any moment to view the map. Also, by typing HELP, you can see this information again. Credits and acknowledgements Game developed for the Spectrum 128k using Tim Gilberts’ PAWS parser.

Critical and public receptionBreak Space Issue nº4 The Experiment is an excellent modern text adventure. It delivers a potent, uncompromising horror experience. (Jamie from Break space) This a pretty good package: one which I'm sure adventure game fans will enjoy more so than I did. (Shaun from Break Space) The Experiment puts you right in at the deep end, with the psychological terrors of disorientation, amnesia and imprisoment, plus the more visceral terrors of actual blood, gut and dismemberment.
