Shady Brook - A Text Adventure
$4.59About Shady Brook - A Text Adventure
Relive the days of classic gaming with Shady Brook, a dark and mysterious text adventure. Inspired by the television series Twin Peaks, Shady Brook places players in the role of author Jake Torrent in his search of a small town's twisted secrets.
ABOUT:
Shady Brook puts a unique spin on classic interactive fiction, combining classic room-based explorative text game mechanics with a stylish graphical interface. It plays like an interactive novel. You make a series of choices that determine what happens next in the story. But unlike in traditional gamebooks and visual novels, Shady Brook also features more advanced adventure-based game mechanics, including locations to explore, items to interact with, characters to meet, and puzzles to solve.
STORY:
Author Jake Torrent, alongside his blind father Wayne, moves to the small, peaceful country town of Shady Brook. At first, everything seems idyllic. His neighbor, Tim, is always willing to lend a hand, and the Ekan family invites him to dinner.
But soon, Jake learns that his home's previous occupant committed suicide, and mysterious things begin to occur. When another resident also commits suicide, Jake starts to suspect foul play. Could this town take part in a conspiracy to cover up a murder?
As Jake investigates, he gets more than he bargained for: a town secret so terrifying that there is no turning back...
FEATURES:
- EXPLORE a small country town
- INTERACT with nearly two dozen characters
- CHOOSE your path--your actions alter the course of the story
- PICK UP, COMBINE, and USE a multitude of inventory items
- SOLVE a variety of challenging and unique puzzles
- DISCOVER the town's terrifying secrets in a truly dark and mature storyline
- ENJOY over 250 pieces of original artwork and an hour-long soundtrack
- UNLOCK 33 achievements to view a special post-game bonus scene

The best interactive fiction adaption to touch devices I have found. This interface truly is fantastic. I finished the whole game and not only did I enjoy the story but the whole interactive experience was fun and took me back to the days of being excited when a new adventure came out. I have already picked up Lifestream and can't wait for the Filmmaker to come out. Keep making more games.

Very interesting mix of text and old school point and click adventure game. It is much more visual than a typical text adventure. Just a little ways in, but really enjoying it.

Had more than 80% progress, but at some point my save got bugged. When I load my game(which now says thursday midnight 0%), only the gui is visible. I suspect it was the "highly unlikely" bug that the update was supposed to fix that caused it.
