Corridor (コリドール) is a fantasy themed computer game with limited commands. Mainly played as a text adventure, visual mazes and images may appear throughout the game. This is the second title made by a developer calling himself "Rocky Hayase" — the first being Dragon & Princess.
Plot[]
In a distant kingdom called Thouras, a king had three sons, each with a three-year journey to win the throne. The youngest, Siegfried, is the youngest and follows a tale from his nanny about a mysterious castle. The king must choose the most heroic son to win the crown.
Gameplay[]
The player's character, Siegfried, is a mute protagonist with a reliant personality. His face is concealed by a green hat. The game uses Japanese text on a black screen, with white text describing settings and yellow text listing actions. Players can move, talk to characters, or confront mystical opponents using highlighted numbers.
The game involves a prince fighting against various opponents, with health being a key factor. The player can check his stats and item supply by typing the "I" key. Medicine and food can restore health, but starvation can occur in areas without food. A hidden scoring system rewards heroes for actions that benefit common folk, demonstrate kindness, or vanquish evil beasts. The player's points determine the ending.
