Text-based games exist in several forms, including interactive fiction, but never had I seen a game where the player is the one in charge of writing the prose until Elegy for a Dead World.
Elegy for a Dead World, which we've covered previously here, is a text-driven adventure game about exploring and documenting the remnants of dead civilizations. You do this by adventuring through gorgeous hand-drawn scenes, and reacting to writing prompts by filling in the blanks.
Completed narratives can then be shared and read through Steam Workshop.
Developer Dejobaan Games stresses how in Elegy for a Dead World, anyone can be a writer, but that doesn't mean the game won't pose some challenges.
From the game's Kickstarter page:
"Each world offers multiple sets of prompts, each intended to inspire you to write a different story about it. Elegy might ask you to write a short story about an individual's final days, a song about resignation, or a poem about war. In the more advanced levels, you'll sometimes get new information halfway through your story which casts a new light on things and forces you to take your story in a different direction. We like to think of those as puzzles -- writing yourself out of a corner, so to speak."
Elegy for a Dead World is on Kickstarter for the next 20 days, and looking to raise $48k. Head on over if that's your thing!
