Mainland
A Simple Text Adventure Game
Developer: Vasily Voronkov, Ryan Joseph, Peter Kosyh
Publisher: Instead Community
Released on May 8, 2015
Mainland is an interactive text storybook adventure set in the 19th century. After a closer look, I’m more convinced that it is not actually a game but rather a fictional novel where you type commands into the text box to generate a specific action.

Genre: Free-to-play Indie Game
