Topaz

Author:Woodfish
Genre:Fantasy
Released:2002
Review:

This easily could have worked as an entry at IntroComp, and not a bad entry, either. In this intro, you discover a magical sword who calls itself Topaz, and then you make another discovery that gives the game-to-be a direction. Unfortunately, that's all the game there is. And although there are no puzzles in this game, the lack is more than made up for with good writing and good coding.
