A downloadable Gerbil Game

Made in a week as part of the Spellkollektivet Halloween game Jam with the theme of "Nostalgia".


Gerbilquest to Unknown Kadath  is a visual novel/point and click adventure where you use opened browser tabs to navigate a branching dialog tree to research a half-forgotten game from your childhood that you are trying to track down a copy of. Using the power of the internet, you can cross-reference your sites to unlock new dialog options. Your browser only supports three tabs at a time though, so you'll have to open and close the tabs and experiment with different combinations to unlock the dialog branches that are most helpful.  Once you've remembered enough about the game to track down a copy, you'll get to play it (hopefully, it's as good as you remember it!).

I ran into a lot of problems getting the Dialog Editor working properly at the end of the jam (in fact, the program refused to launch in the last hour or so of the jam) due to the number of dialog nodes. If you run into an issue, you can press F5 to reset the dialog back to the main branch (and keep your process).
