The Crimson Diamond - 01 - Tutorials and Trains /w @MysteriousJG
7Welcome to a brand new let's play adventure as we begin "The Crimson Diamond," a retro-style mystery adventure from Canadian developer Julia Minamata using Adventure Game Studio. Inspired by classic Sierra titles like Colonel’s Bequest, this game drops us into a world of intrigue, eccentric characters, and pixel-perfect charm. I’m joined by MysteriousJG as we step into the shoes of Nancy Maple, a mineralogist with a knack for uncovering secrets and a penchant for eavesdropping. With its text-parser interface, detailed EGA-style visuals, and a great atmosphere, The Crimson Diamond is both a loving tribute to and a fresh take on the classic adventure genre. (And a big plus for me, there seems to be many chances to get interesting game overs!)
In this video, we travel to the sleepy town of Crimson, Ontario, in response to a letter about a valuable gemstone discovery for Nancy's first chance at some field work. After finishing the tutorial of course.
