  • The Dreamhold is interactive fiction — a classic text adventure. No graphics! No point-and-click! You type your commands, and read what happens next. The Dreamhold is designed for people who have never played IF before. It introduces the common commands and mindset of text adventures, one step at a time. There’s an extensive help system describing standard IF commands, as well as dynamic hints which pop up whenever you seem to be stuck. I’ve tried to create a game which rewards many species of adventurer: the inexperienced newcomer, the puzzle-hurdler, the casual tourist, the meticulous explorer, the wild experimenter, the seeker after nuances and implications.

  • Interactive fiction (also referred to as IF) is best defined in A Beginner's Guide to Interactive Fiction[1] as "both a computer game and a book, or rather something in between."  IF is formatted so that the reader acts as the user and the story acts as a game. Communication between the user and the game is controlled through a text-based interface, which provides the user with a dialogue experience. The path of the story's plot is determined by what action commands the user enters, and the outc

  • From: mol@df.lth.se (Magnus Olsson) Newsgroups: rec.games.int-fiction Subject: Dreamhold Interpretation 2: myth & mural Date: 17 Dec 2004 12:10:59 GMT Organization: DF Computer Club Lines: 172 Message-ID: <32g0mjF3mivf5U1@individual.net> Here's some more analysis of _Dreamhold_, in particular, the third ending (the one with the mural and the moon). I'd really like this to be the start of a discussion - the conclusions I make below are really tentative, more hypotheses than answers. The third ending (I'm not counting the various deaths as real endings) is in a sense the simplest, most traditional IF ending: collect some stuff, wear it, enter a portal, win. But it is also the strangest ending because of the questions it raises: How does it fit into the story? What's the significance of the mural? And what with the "regalia" you have to collect? I'd like to make the connection to the various myths included in the game, which are prompted when the player examines the constellations. Like in Greek mythology, the constellations are connected to the stars, and the PCs ultimate fate in this ending - literally entering the heavens, joining the stars, and presumably becoming a constellation himself - is a common one in myths. So the apparent meaning of this ending is that the PC transcends his former existence and becomes some sort of mythological hero. Or, perhaps, he was one all the time - although his actions as revealed by the latter flashbacks seem more like those of the "s...
