Hello SteamGifters! All of us like playing games, and all of us like winning games. So, how about playing a game and winning games while playing?

• Introduction

I am excited to introduce Game of sWords - a text Adventure/Quest where you can explore dungeons (or other locations), complete quests, solve puzzles, find useful items, avoid deadly traps and fight dangerous monsters while searching for treasures (SteamGifts giveaways links) on your way and trying to reach the end to find the Main Treasure (a set of great non-bundle giveaways)! Each Game (of sWords) will usually have a unique scenario and a limited number of winners, so the chances will always be great.

Game of sWords is currently in a testing stage, so there might be some bugs or other problems during the Game, and I would be glad if you reported them if you experience any :)

• Current Game

In the current (testing) scenario, you start the Game in the dungeon and you have to find the treasure chest. You have 7 energy points at start, which you can use to either move in any available direction or check a wall or other obstacle near you (you might find a useful item or a treasure anywhere). If you run out of energy, you will have to wait until 00:00 UTC when your energy will be replenished and you will be able to continue your journey. Resting time and number of energy will differ depending on the scenario (current one is quite short). It will usually take a few days to complete a journey (well, if you won't die during your first day :) ).

The information in the top left corner will tell you your current coordinates, direction and the amount of energy you have.

• Note

Current Game doesn't have any special story or wide variety of events or items. It also doesn't have too many "treasures" at the moment. It was made to show you the basic concept of the project as well as test the server load.

• Your support is invaluable!

I hope you will enjoy it and support the project, because its future depends on you! Please join the Steam Group to get all the news and notifications about new Games and features, as well as share your ideas and suggestions to help the development.

By the way, there is a Bonus Giveaway for everyone who joins the group! :)

If you are a creative person who can make up an interesting story for the future Game, feel free to add me on Steam and share it with me. It doesn't have to be set in a fantasy dungeon :) It can be a sci-fi or horror adventure, or any other kind.

• Future plans

In the near future, everyone will be able to create his/her own adventure with unique story, events, rules, etc. using the special Scenario Editor. If all goes well, it will become a unique platform, another creative way to make giveaways for SteamGifts (like itstoohard or so called "trains" :) ).

The project will be constantly developed: new items, event types and even game modes will be added gradually. The Games (of sWords) will be held once in a while, probably every couple of weeks, it depends on how much free time and support I will have :)

• Time to start the adventure!

You will be asked to log in through Steam to join the Game. The login process goes through the official steamcommunity.com website (always make sure the address is correct!) using Steam API and it is not possible to collect any personal data like your address, age, login or password with it unless such data is made public by you, so the process is absolutely safe.

The giveaways have no level restrictions, and you don't need to meet any special requirements to start playing, so everyone is invited!

P.S. I have no idea how many people will take part in the Game and whether the current server will handle it, so if any loading problems appear, I'll try to upgrade it as soon as possible ;P

So,

Join the official group

and

Start playing now!
