Penny Black
Penny Black is a text-driven adventure game where you step into the shoes of an unnamed protagonist who musters the courage to ask Penny Black out on a date. Penny, a short girl with black hair and striking blue eyes, surprisingly accepts. The story unfolds at the Soma Cinema Complex on a Saturday at 11 a.m., marking the start of a unique journey. Written in BBC Basic for Windows, the game spans over 25,000 words and offers 30 minutes to 2 hours of immersive play. Choices made throughout the narrative lead to multiple endings, with hidden options that can change the outcome dramatically. Though installation takes about 200kb and there’s no save function, the experience is straightforward and rewarding. Penny Black is a personal project, simple yet meaningful, crafted in spare time. Give it a try and see where your decisions take you. You might find it more engaging than expected.
