About

The Path to Fortune is Volume One of The Windhall Chronicles, a parser-driven text adventure designed by Jeff Cassidy and co-written and programmed by C.E. Forman using Inform 5.5. Distributed in 1995-1996 as a Mac interpreter bundle, it carried a $10 shareware request for maps and an Infocom-style hint book.The Windhall ChroniclesPath to Fortune is positioned as the opening volume of a planned series, with the donation drive explicitly framed as funding for future Windhall Chronicles entries rather than payment for the game itself.Engine and toolingThe game was authored in Infocom-style Inform 5.5 (Release 3, serial 960118, Inform v1502 Library 5/11) and ships as a Macintosh Z-machine interpreter wrapper, making the same world playable in any Inform interpreter on other platforms via the if-archive at ftp.gmd.de.Shareware and extrasThe game itself is freely distributable for non-commercial use; the $10 shareware fee unlocks a complete map set and a hint book modeled on Infocom's Invisiclues, complete with trick questions and a list of fun things to try in-game. The hint materials themselves are not redistributable.System requirementsThe Mac build requires System 7 and at least 1.6 MB of free memory; users on earlier system software or non-Mac platforms are pointed at the if-archive for alternative interpreters.
