ADLENGINE - Roleplay / Text Adventure Engine
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
What is Adliberum Engine?
The Adliberum Engine (1.1.61.X) was an ambitious project which was aimed to turn stories into interactive worlds, scenarios and games. A text heavy engine that paid homage to the classic text adventure experience focusing heavily on 'data' whilst offering you full control and freedom.
This version is no longer in development.

Hi, it actually wasn't meant to end up in the bundle, the links went all awry and this got added by accident, its no longer in development (as support for the language it was written is was stopped)
However I am looking at potentially open-sourcing it in the future / rewriting it.
Here is a list of commands :) https://trello.com/b/EE0Z7oWX/build-your-own-adventure-with-adlengine
If you get around to recreating (or open-sourcing) it, I would like to be notified. I hope that "Follow" is sufficient to let me do this? (I'm not that familiar with this site.) I may not have much time to play text adventures these days, but they do fill me with nostalgia, and I love that people are still developing engines to make them faster and easier than anything I could've done back when I got started programming.
P.S. Look up Inform 7; it's an incredible engine based on human-readable code.
Oh wait ok so I made progress. I was experiencing the same issue with Catlateral Damage, and the dev suggested I try extracting from the zip using "The Unarchiver" instead of the built-in archive utility, and that worked! I tried it with ADLENGINE and it now recognizes it as runnable app, but it gives me a new error when I try to run. Looks like it's crashing. Added the crash logs to a pastebin:
