Hunt the Wumpus
About
"Hunt the Wumpus" is a text-based adventure game developed by Gregory Yob in 1973. The turn-based game requires the player to navigate a cave system, avoiding fatal bottomless pits and "super bats" that can transport them to different locations. The primary objective is to use "crooked arrows" to eliminate the Wumpus.
This version is based on a version from https://osric.com/wumpus/.
How to play:
- Move by left-clicking on a nearby cell. Only up, down, left, and right movements are allowed; diagonals are not permitted.
- Shoot to a nearby cell using right-click. The rules for shooting are the same as for movement. You win by shooting the cell where the Wumpus is hiding. Keep in mind that you only have five arrows, so use them wisely.
- Utilize your senses to detect three potential hazards within an 8-cell radius around you (including diagonals):
- Smell the distinctive stench of the Wumpus.
- Listen for the flapping of bats.
- Feel the draft from a nearby pit.

Hi VP, thanks for response. I've never played Chaos before, so I'm not sure if I'm able to remake it:)
But it seems like a game with very interesting mechanics. You probably know that, but there is 3d remake made by the author of the original, and it's currently on sale on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/319050/Chaos_Reborn/.
After playing it multiple times i must say this is a fantastic simple game with a lot of imagination. I don't know why but the sound fits perfect. A great time stealer. Thanks for sharing this game with us. ❤️
