About

The Night of Death is a solo text adventure about a new born vampire. It is a short dungeon exploration game written in 2001 by two friends. We loved pen&paper roleplaying games and building our own fictional worlds. It was our first (and only) interactive fiction we created together so many years ago.

The source was almost lost. It was saved on an old external hdd that stopped working.

I was able to restore it and make a few fixes to make it playable again. 

• It has some nicer css styling (we didn't use css back then)  
• friendly game restart links for situations of sudden game-overs. 
• I also changed the name of the world in-game, since the worldbuilding project from back then still exists under this new name. 
• Added the English translation, so more players can "enjoy" what we did there. The original version was written in German.

This is not the type of story I would write today, but it is a funny and nice memory I wanted to put here so it doesn't get lost.

Credits

The game was created by "Aeyolscaer" and "Galadriel", our nicknames back then :o)

We didn't use any special tools for the development of this game. Just Word for writing the text. The game would also work when printed out, without hyperlinks. I'll add this original pdf as download (without any updates or fixes, German only).
