Version 2.3.1 coming Monday + sequel is out!

Journey of the Scroll
A downloadable adventure for Windows, macOS, and Linux

You may have noticed I updated the game to version 2.3 but I found a soft lock in one of the secret areas where I forgot to put a transfer, so you'd be stuck there once you get in (this is if you find a key to the OMH Guild, so if you avoid going in, this version works fine). The reason I updated the game in the first place was someone alerted me of a game breaking area if you approach the heroine from behind at camp, and i forgot to put "skip if cannot move" so the game locks up instead since he is going a direction he can't. Because this is like the hundredth time I've had to update this, I thought "why not finish the secret area I was working on but never finished in previous builds?".

So 2.3 has:

  • Fixed the game locking error when you talk to the heroine at camp from behind
  • Adds missing Benjamin line + corrects another of his lines
  • Adds secret area, and in that secret area, you may find a key to open the door to the OMH Guild in Royal Town
  • Fixes some typos, I think

Upcoming 2.3.1 will have:

  • Being unable to leave the OMH Guild fixed
  • Kingdom of Blue's throne recolored to have blue trim
  • A couple of NPCs recolored (one captain recolored to have red clothes and a kid recolored to have bright teal eyes)
  • Fixed some window positions when reading books, and some more typos

Hopefully.... this will be the FINAL version. 

Also, do you recall at the Farmer's Inn, when you talk to this NPC?

Well, guess what? You finally get to go there! But not in this game.... the SEQUEL! Aptly named The Cursed Tower! Originally, I had planned to create a bonus post-game side quest where you could actually pick this up. I was bored one day at the laundromat and wrote a scene on paper (which makes it into the game) and decided it deserved its own game, so it happens exactly 6 months after the events of JotS (and 6 months before JotS' after credits scene). That game will also be getting an update on Monday--there were no game breaking errors, but some typos bugged me so I fixed them as well as added another area in the castle (you can go upstairs now!)
