"The Gnomish Treasury" is released!


I'm delighted to announce the release of The Gnomish Treasury, my new parser-based interactive fiction game!

Crates of stolen treasures have been returned to the gnome kingdom. As custodian of the royal treasury, it's your job to restore these priceless artifacts and curate an exhibition fit for the king.

Find the broken pieces of rare and unusual items, and uncover their historical significance, in this cozy, crafting-driven puzzle game for anyone who loves museums or beautiful objects.

The Gnomish Treasury was written for release as part of the 2026 Text Adventure Literacy Jam: a competition for games suitable for newcomers to the genre of parser games, aka text adventures.

After releasing several choice-based games coded in ink, this project was my first time authoring a parser game (apart from a few unreleased experiments). Coding in the programming language Inform 7 has been a fascinating creative challenge, and I'm excited to share what I've come up with!

Voting in the Text Adventure Literacy Jam is open to the public. Check out all the games and submit your ratings from May 1 through May 31.
