Description
Shrewsbury Key is a traditional text adventure where you tell the game what you want to do via a textual interface and the parser is based on verb / noun input.
The premise of this game is somewhat unusual, in that while the objective could be categorised as the typical treasure hunt (with the objective to find the diamond encrusted key of Shrewsbury), the game is more about the journey from the York train station to Shrewsbury and the encounters you have along the way.
