Supplicant - A Text Adventure for MS-DOS

The Gist

The theme for LD50 was 'delay the inevitable.'

It's inevitable that old PC hardware eventually dies.  I decided to develop a game using an old 33Mhz 486DX PC using tools from back in the day.  One day DOS game development might die along with the hardware, but today is not that day.

The Game

Go on a quest to make an offering at the sun god's abandoned temple to postpone the encroaching Long Night in a short text adventure for DOS.
