Introduction


In the year 2000 a great friend of mine gave me a Floppy Disk for my birthday. On this floppy disk were a couple of cool games, but before I could get to these games I had to "double-click" myself through a maze of folders. Together all these folders told a story about how this friend wished me a happy birthday and how close I was in finding my present (could my present be in this folder??? NOPE!!! Go back 9 folders and try the other one...). :P

I really liked the idea of moving through a story using folders and it inspired me to make a small game consisting of only folders (I called my game "Folders" ^^;). Years have passed and I'm unable to find this small "Folder Quest" I created years ago. :/

Many years later in 2013 I saw someone by the name of CrazyRiverOtter creating a Folder Quest. This gave me the motivation I needed to start working on a new and IMPROVED Folder Quest!!! I decided to make this new Folder Quest during the Global Game Jam 2015.

So after 48 hours of hard work, I give you the end result!
ENJOY!!! :D


What's a "Folder Quest"?


A Folder Quest is an "adventure" game that consists of a sh!tload of folders. Each folder contains a part of a story. The player can make decisions which lead from one folder to another and in that way control the story. These folders sometimes contain basic file types like txt/jpg/png/bmp/wav/mp3/ico/lnk files to enhance the look and feel of the adventure.
