About the Story

Ported from Amstrad in 1992 to Android.

Mystery of the Dark Manor was originally released in the UK in 1992.

A unique feature for this game is that it uses Google Analytics to capture anonymous input from the user. No personal information is captured, just text input.

What does this mean?

Although I have absolutely no idea who they are, I can see what people are typing in for each location. Ever been frustrated as you had the right idea but didn't get the exact word right for an interactive fiction game? Well now that I know what people are typing in I can include their input into this game.

As such with each successive update I am capturing more thoughts and intentions, not specific commands.

This game has now had 3 updates since Google Analytics was added. Over 100 responses have been included which didn't exist in the original release.


Other features include:
* Different font sizes
* Text to speech
* Speech input
* Android gestures to swipe the screen when moving in the different compass directions
