The Journey East and West
Is a text-based adventure game developed as a final project for NMU’s CS120 Winter 2025 course. Players take on the role of a claim jumper navigating challenges to return to Missouri and claim land in Oregon. The game blends decision-making mechanics with random events, where success depends on strategic use of numerical inputs and resource management. Failure states are built into the jugabilidad to maintain tension and engagement. Designed for PC, it runs directly through the Command Prompt without requiring JDK installation or PATH configuration. The minimalist interface and text-driven narrative emphasize player choices, echoing classics like *The Oregon Trail*. Key elements include dynamic events, limited resources, and a focus on problem-solving. Ideal for fans of narrative-driven games and retro-style challenges, *The Journey East and West* offers a nostalgic yet innovative experience. Its simplicity and reliance on player input make it accessible while retaining depth. This project highlights creative coding and interactive storytelling. Experience the journey today.
