Silvio's Cellar

A ZZT puzzle adventure

First up, content warnings:

Swearing, violence, "sovereign citizens".

What is this?

Silvio's Cellar is a little game I made for Oktrollberfest 2023. It is the second (?) game jam I have gone and entered (the first one was The 2021 Make A Neat ZZT Board Contest Jam Type Thing and I did a thing about a beach and it was very fun to make).

How do I play?

This is a ZZT game so it might help to be familiar with 1991 text-mode adventure game ZZT - there's an entire online museum dedicated to this game which is sick.

If you just wanna play, press K then C then P then use the arrow keys to move and ENTER to select dialogue options or skip through text.

You will need to do more things to finish the game but this is a good start.

I am stuck!

You sure are. It's a puzzle game for a thing called "Oktrollberfest".

Can I have a hint?

There is a question mark at the start of the game that will give you hints. Talk to it again to get more hints.

Those hints sucked.

Maybe just quit the game and wait a while, I'm sure the main mechanic of the game will make itself clear to you.

Credits?

I'm using Zeta and the Reconstruction of ZZT to run things, and made everything in ZZT using KevEdit.

Can I send you pictures of my dog?

I'm on the Discord of ZZT (which you can find at the Museum) so you can @ me there for any questions.

Also here is a picture of my dog. His name is Toby and he is very very good.
