Description:
Kentilla is a text adventure game with graphical elements and a sequel to Velnor’s Lair. The game takes place in the fantasy world of Caraland, where the evil sorcerer Grako has returned from the underworld and controls the powerful Moonstone of Aigrath. The player’s mission is to defeat Grako and banish him back to the underworld.
Players control a hero who wields the magical sword Kentilla and is assisted by a companion named Elva, who can carry items, perform tasks, and fight enemies. The game uses a text parser system where players can issue commands such as “Say To Elva ‘Get Moss’” to interact with the environment and characters.
The graphical presentation is simple but functional, featuring static images that illustrate the various locations within the game.
