The Legendary PB&J

Overview:

The Legendary PB&J is a simple text adventure game that takes place during a horrific storm. You and your daughter have taken refuge in the basement of a giant mansion along with some other townsfolk, but when your daughter asks you to find her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you must brave the mansion, talking to other refugees to find the ingredients you need to feed your daughter.

Gameplay Mechanics:

• Input Actions - the player's movement is controlled through specific phrases that correspond to different actions that the player can perform. The phrases for the input actions are as follows:
• Examine: gives the player detailed information about an item in the current room
• Go: moves the player in a cardinal direction
• Take: takes an item from the current room and places it in the player's inventory
• Use: uses an item in the player's inventory
• Talk: talk to a person in the current room
• Inventory: lists all items in the player's inventory

Development Note:

The entire game is made using scriptable objects. Each room, person, object, action, and response is bassed off of a base script that was then modified for each unique encounter.

The game also uses a verb-noun parser to identify which input action to execute. For this reason, command inputs must be given in the form of "verb noun" to be accepted ("go basement," "examine pen," etc.). Any other format will just repeat the command back to the player without doing anything.
