Stranded by vico87
Small and short text adventure game. I'm not a great writer, which explains the length and quality of the text.
Runs on pretty much any PC, although Windows XP is NOT supported, you need Vista or later and .NET 4.0 Client Profile or later version.
Enjoy!

I also got an IndexOutOfRangeException with the command "go" which didn't seem to have any use anyway? Also, if you try to "take" something too early, you get a null exception.
I liked it, though I didn't really get the ending.
Also I found a few errors. It appears that if you run the take or t command at a point that's not expecting it then the program errors with an Argument Null exception at the function TextAdventure.CommandHandlers.TakeCommandHandler.HandleCommand
Other than that it was pretty nice. Good going =)
That crash is now fixed, I have uploaded a new version of the archive.
I'm sorry for non-Windows users. I used a feature of the console present from Vista onwards using PInvoke. Not sure how to port it to other platforms, even though the rest should run without much difficulty on Mono.
On the other hand I didn't think the text was all that well written or interesting. It also didn't go anywhere. I'm not trying to be negative, but it kind of seems that if a game contains only text and minimalist interactions then at least one of those should be engaging or interesting.
@QXD-me: I agree. I didn't manage to spend enough time on the text, which I think shows. Next time I make a text adventure, I will be able to reuse and improve this engine.
The idea was to make it easy to make/edit the game, hence JSON.
oh and nice game, well done!
@SuperlevelSebastian WinXP is not supported, you need Vista or later, because there were new features introduced to the console, which I use.
Anyway - I like interactive novels, so I liked this :)
