Ængelbert the Unpredictable

Ængelbert the Unpredictable is an interactive text-based adventure game where you have no control over the hero's erratic choices - only which items they wield.

Designed for the GMTK Game Jam 2020 brief 'Out of Control', this game sees you play as Ængelbert, the fickle and unreliable knight, in a world of medieval monasteries, monsters, and manuscripts. Each turn, you will only be able to select which item you use to attempt the task ahead - not what your approach is...

Created with Twine, this branching-paths game explores what would happen if a player could not decide which path was was taken, but was in total control of their inventory...
