Over dit spel

Lost in a vast desert, you find only one path forward: the towering mountain known as Bael’s Rock. Within, ancient trials and cryptic puzzles await – ready to challenge you at every step toward the summit. Test your wits to uncover long-buried secrets and the truth behind the shadowy figure who brought you here.

Gameplay

Bael’s Rock is a parser-based text adventure inspired by the cult classic Zork. Experience the interactive fiction genre that gave birth to point-and-click games - reimagined for modern players.

Unlike simplified choice-based games, you’re not limited to predefined options. You control your character freely, typing your own commands to interact with the world. Examine your surroundings, search for and combine items, manipulate strange mechanisms, and solve puzzles – all through your own ideas and intuition.

Setting and Structure

The world of Bael’s Rock blends fantasy with light steampunk elements – a mysterious backdrop filled with secrets, puzzles, and hidden lore. The journey is divided into seven chapters, each presenting new challenges to overcome.

Difficulty

The first chapter introduces the story and serves as a tutorial, guiding you through the basics. From there, you're on your own to tackle increasingly complex puzzles as you carve your path toward the summit.

Bael’s Rock offers a considerable challenge in the spirit of cult classics – demanding, yet intuitive to play. As a fully text-based experience, it requires patience, focus, and a love for reading. If you're not into puzzles, story-driven exploration, or point-and-click-style logic, this probably isn't the game for you.

Retro mode/High contrast/Accessibility

The game includes a retro mode with no graphics and a focus on readability. Additionally, the entire game is fully playable and functional without sound, as it features only minor and entirely optional sound effects.
