♦ Livestream of the ZZT world "City of the Darned Trilogy" by Patrick Cheng [https://museumofzzt.com/file/view/darned/]. ♦
Three baffling and bizarre games that were a blast to experience.
Harty Mock, a known (ZZT) player hater was thought dead, but he has somehow returned, and is out to kill you. The only way to survive is to kill him first. Fortunately, you have a knife. You also live in the city of the darned (no swearing allowed) where places like the "Steal Store" where everything is free can give you the necessary supplies to be able to make it to Harty.
These games a trip. At one point God intervenes on your behalf to shoot a breakable wall. There are otherwise empty boards with objects labeled "Touch" (kills you instantly) and "Don't Touch" (shoots you repeatedly). You'll be accussed of crimes you didn't commit, only for those that accused you to have a heart attack immediately after apologizing once your name is cleared. You can force children to watch MTV. Cities burn. Drunks are punished for their inebriation. Sub-Zero makes a cameo and dies from eating a chili dog that was too spicy to handle. Forrest Gump gives you an authoraph. You'll learn how to play three instruments and then teach somebody else those same instruments seconds later.
As far as "anything can happen" ZZT games go, this one is constantly coming up with something to keep the player's attention, and we were all loving every minute of it.
