About 3D Text Adventure
3D Text Adventure transforms the classic Infocom text adventure into a first-person 3D puzzle experience where you explore mysterious environments, hunt for hidden objects, and solve environmental puzzles with no quest markers or hand-holding. This faithful remake challenges you to figure out how to progress entirely through exploration and experimentation, staying true to the enigmatic design of the original while giving it a modern visual overhaul.
This is a remake of the first Infocom game complete.
UPDATE PATCH 14th Sept - the stuttering in the forest at the beginning of the game has been removed. The frame rate is much better. Sorry about the rocky launch. Please email me any bugs. Thank you.
This Australian Indie studio is committed to converting the old Infocom text adventures to 3d first person adventures.3D Text Adventure is the first of these to be developed. These infocom remakes are practically exactly the same as the originals.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
3D Text Adventure attempts an interesting modernization of a classic text adventure by adding 3D visuals and exploration, but players find it held back by significant technical and design issues. Common complaints center on poor performance and framerate problems, awkward controls and camera quirks, lack of helpful guidance or quest markers, and an overall unfinished or barebones feel despite the novelty of the concept.
For a remake of a classic adventure with puzzles, exploration and plenty of things to discover, 3D Text Adventure is surprisingly barebones on Steam. There are no Steam achievements or Trading Cards, despite plenty of obvious milestones that could have been used for achievements. The lack of instructions and quest markers is faithful to the original, but combined with awkward controls and camera issues it can make the game frustrating rather than challenging. The 3D presentation is an interesting idea, but the rough performance and limited polish make this feel more like an experiment than a proper remake.
Игра "3D Text Adventure" — это гениальное переосмысление жанра. Классический текстовый квест обретает объём, делая исследование мира невероятно immersive. Отличная пиксельная графика, атмосферный саундтрек и увлекательные головоломки надолго затянут в свою вселенную. Ностальгия по старому встречается с современным подходом. Обязательна к прохождению!
This game that used to be titled "Zork Remake" on Steam has been on my wishlist for a while, cause it looked like the sort of early 3D that I like, and I do like it visually. It is a definitely very cheap, but free, remake of Zork from a text based game into a 3D game. That seems fun enough for me, even if it isn't very good. The problem here is that the game runs *terribly*. You can run this at 640x480 with the lowest graphics and it will just constantly be low frames because the game is probably always rendering everything. Sad cause I want to see more of it, but it's pretty unplayable frame wise.
A Unity remake of Zork, pretty but gets bland quickly and seems incomplete 5.1/10
Unfinished peace of a good text adventure. No navigation is a big disadvantage. 4/10
I enjoyed the game. Took me a bit to find all the items and find out how to use them. was stuck a few. I chalk it up to glitches here and there. Some more contextual/visual clues would be fun to find and apply to solutions. escaping the map leads to some pretty unfinished? locations. I would like to see all the zork material applied, also more interaction with the random items floating around. I would like to see some feedback when an item does't work somewhere. They comedy is missing a bit. I hope you finish part 2, I would buy it.
