What is First Quest in Silfveld?
First Quest in Silfveld is a text-based role-playing game developed using Harlowe 3.2.3. The objective of this game is for players, traveling through the forest toward a destination of their own, to find accommodation for the coming night. However, the Silfveld Inn is not accepting any occupants until the return of a stolen heirloom.
From the very onset of the game, players are co-opted by the vibrancy that is Silfveld’s centre square; given the agency to explore each of its four key locations in any order they see fit — every way is the right way.
The town of Silfveld is home to a dynamic cast of characters who change with the player over the course of their actions in town. The player is invited to learn as little or as much as they like of the residents, with varying degrees of how such efforts affect quest progression. There are four unique endings, chuckles, tears, and plenty of hidden lore to uncover about the town, its people, their culture, and the legacy of the forest.
I hope players of Silfveld find something to love about the game’s world just as I had in creating it.

PS. It comes highly recommended that players enjoy the unofficial soundtrack to whilst playing the game. Secunda (Skyrim) by Mimi Page was instrumental in contributing the tone of Silfveld in the writer’s room. No pun intended.
Slightly intended…
