Reign of the Enchantress
A downloadable game
A game made by Dietrich Epp (Discord: @realvanadium) for Retro Platform Jam #7. Submitted August 25, 2024. This game runs on old Macintosh computers (pre-Mac OS X). It probably needs at least a 68030 to run. The download is a disk image which you should be able to mount in Mini vMac or Basilisk II. It has been tested only on Basilisk II with System 7.5.5.
This is just a cool prototype, right? There’s not actually a real game here. You can walk around, you can get hurt by monsters, and you can even die. What was this supposed to be? You were supposed to navigate the Enchantress’s realm, looking for your friends. Your friends would then fight monsters for you. Maybe a future version!
