Sam Mallard - The Case of the Missing Swan

Back in 2016 I found a handful of graphics I made around 10 years prior, they were going to be used for an adventure game I had planned on making for the Commodore 64. It never got anywhere and I thought it could be fun to do something with them, so over a late summer month in 2016 I created the code, puzzles, story, additional graphics and released the game for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

It's a simple menu driven graphical text adventure. I tried to make it an accessible experience and you can't die or make the game unwinnable. It's not a particularly hard nor long game, but it was fairly well received when released.

The game is also available in Spanish thanks to Radastan.

How to play

This game requires at least a 48k ZX Spectrum (or a suitable emulator) to play.
