Play Demon's Tomb - The Awakening Online – Amiga Game

Game Overview

Demon’s Tomb: The Awakening is one of those rare text adventures that actually makes you feel like you’re piecing together a mystery—not just typing "examine rug" for the hundredth time. You start off playing as Edward, an archaeologist fighting for his life in a creepy prologue, then jump to his teenage son Richard 16 years later, digging through England’s moors for clues about his dad’s disappearance. Turns out there’s an evil god trying to break into our world, and yeah, it’s as bad as it sounds.

The parser here is seriously good—like Infocom-level good—but with mouse support and a slick right-click menu for tweaking the interface. You can even build commands by clicking verbs and objects if typing gets old. And the little details? Pictures pop up in key locations (hit a button to see them), and you can set up macros so "IN" pulls up your inventory instead of typing the whole thing.

What I love is the hint system: just type "THINK ABOUT [thing]" when you’re stuck, and the game nudges you without spoiling everything. Plus, you’ve got both disk and RAM saves, which is weirdly handy when you realize you missed something three hours back. It’s a proper adventure, not just nostalgia bait.
