Ambiguous Swording

It took me too long to realize what the solution to the final puzzle was.

Short, but really fun concept; would love to see this get developed into something bigger. Slightly bummed my original strategy of feeding the king the hamburger and then attacking the hamburger didn't work out - not my fault if anything in between the hamburger and my sword got cut open in the process, right?

alternate cut where you kill the evil mage and point out he never asked to have the princess's hand while he was alive

wait i just found a BEAUTIFUL loophole, in a minecraft horror mod called "No_Moon.jar" there is an entity called "Nothing Left", you prob already know what i am thinking, but if you can't, i'm going to play No_Moon.jar, wait for Nothing Left to spawn, use some connector to connect my laptop that already has minecraft to my moms laptop (the 1 i'm posting from) to make it so that "there is nothing left" from the inscryption is true (as in there is something called Nothing Left), give Nothing Left the sword, and tell Nothing Left to kill the king, but now, ithink it's time to stop yappin and start cookin, AMBIGUOUS SWORDING WRONG WAAAARP? (the tpot intro starts)

edit: it turns out No_Moon.jar doesn't support my version of minecraft, so can some1 test my theory for me 

Why can't I talk, to recognize evil wizard as a "hero (that) will rise" from the dead? Even if I don't have the power of resurrection, I'd like my character to aknowledge this interpretation.

I suppose game would need to be extensively playtested by multiple different players, to figure out each and every single possible loophole, and what interaction they should cause.

Is there a reason why king actively helped you learn to rules lawyer around his own traps before you got the sword?

I haven't even started playing yet and I already love this game. I was messing around on the title screen and I did "Launch new window" and it opened a new tab in my browser.

I'd love to see this concept expanded upon with time to develop more obscure and generally humorous interactions

Also possibly different routes, etc, but other comments already talk about that

great game, unfortunate i could not feed the king to the rat or take the rat with me since my hand didnt want the rat, but otherwise ~10 minutes well spent (like a third of the time was spent in the first room trying to bring the rat with me)

> And make no attempt to harm the crown

I'm not trying to harm the crown, nor the king, I'm trying to harm the hamburger... with king.

Came here from the recent Icely Puzzles video, good game, amazing concept, could definitely be expanded to a full on game given time (and probably a lot of effort too, making sure all interpretations are accounted for). Having to do some rules lawyering shenanigans is very fun as a gameplay mechanic, especially with the “sets of options” style of choose your own adventure. There was only one case where I was disappointed because I thought up a solution that was unaccounted for, but looking at the comments, there’s definitely a lot more ways you could interpret things. I was upset that the solution in the kitchen didn’t involve what the king said about “You may not leave the castle until another command is given”, combined with attempting to pick him up making him yell “DON’T TOUCH ME!”, which would count as a command and allow you to leave.

(Edit: adding on to this, it doesn’t specify WHO has to give the command. You could theoretically command yourself, or maybe annoy the princess some more for it. That one line is glossed over completely, but there’s definitely some shenanigans to be had.)

(Edit 2: alternatively, just pick up the stone engraving in the tower, and bash the old man in the head before even touching the sword! Problem solved! (Game dev wise, it would probably just be a “Why the hell would I do that?” Moment.)

I really wish this was longer. (And multiple solutions/routes, but I realise that isn't very feasible) Great game :)

Just incase you missed some things during the stream there this version of the of the video of the game.

love the idea of the game, but I feel like several possible ways to misinterpret don’t work. such as attacking the king without hurting his crown or feeding the burger to the rat the get rid of it. And giving the entire princess but then taking her away. (You will have her hand but not keep it)

(Also if you pull the doorway you can’t go in the tower without leaving to reset the area.) 

Also king will order you not to touch him, but you can still move him, and touch his clothing. So just take his crown off.fun game.

can't access property "moveSpeed", $gameMap.event(...) is undefined

wuh oh! Tried to do "give crown to entrance" after the puzzle with the chef hat and got that as it tried to move to the next map?
:) super neat game tho that i definitely plan on coming back to later to finish! 

This was very fun, great job!

I'm stuck on the final showdown. What do I need to do?

BUG: Doing "talk to woman" results in Dalion going under the bridge, then this happens:
