I figured that I should give alpha testers something special for Christmas so here we go, even though it's not quite complete, 'grossness' and tongue worship are now live for December 2022 alpha testers.

Here's one final reminder that if you feel like you deserve giving yourself a little Christmas present, we've been able to switch to subscription billing over on the Shame Games Patreon, which means that when you pledge, it renews one month later, rather than on the 1st of the next month. So now is a great time to join!

How to Download - Newbies on Windows

If you're brand new, on Windows, and either not very good with computers or just don't want to make any decisions on graphics version right now, download this zip file, which contains both the game file and the program needed to run it.

ZIP File - Directly from our Cloudflare

OR

ZIP File - MEGA

After you've extracted your zip file, all you need to do is open git.exe and then select the file starting with TrapQuest to run the game.

If you have any issues with that, reach out to use on Twitter or Discord or in the comments section below.

How to Download - Everyone Else

Trap Quest was created with Inform. To play a work like this one, you need to download two different things:

1) A glulxe interpreter program (you open this program and then select the game file): many are available, Windows Git is strongly recommended for any machine that can run it (if your overzealous antivirus has a problem with area57's improved speed version, there's an older official version here). Another interpreter called Gargoyle is available on multiple platforms but is more prone to crashes. If you're having trouble consult this page.

2) The game file: This file will end in '.gblorb' and will be around 550MB large (there's a lot of images in this game!). There are 4 different versions because there are 4 different publicly available character windows you can use. Previews of the different versions' Character Windows can be seen here.
The versions with the 5th window, the Clothing window, are available from our Patreon posts and SubscribeStar posts.

If you're new and struggling to choose which version to try, Aika personally recommends Danaume. It's the original, classic TQ artwork, and focuses on character body state rather than worrying about trying to represent odd random things from the surrounding environment.

You can download the version of your choice from the links below.

Known Issues

• Updating to the latest version of the MacBook operating system no longer supports WINE. If this is the case for you, I'm afraid you'll need to run Windows in a Virtual Machine or otherwise fully emulate Windows to play Trap Quest on your computer using the recommended Windows Git. Your other option is to try Gargoyle (see here).
• In some interpreters, on some people's computers, with some of the more complex character windows (mainly Wonderfuller and Clothing), undo is failing to work because the interpreter's undo buffer isn't large enough to handle the game.

Changelist

MERRY CHRISTMAS

• Christmas mode is enabled! But you should be able to disable it at will.
  • If you're an alpha tester who had already enabled Christmas mode, it'll be disabled for you (essentially, the standard 'off' and 'on' variables have been switched) so you'll need to manually enable it again.

MINOR CHANGES

• When you random encounter a gross patron in the hotel, he'll (usually) ask for a kiss. Accepting experiences mild grossess (or just does nothing for now, if you're not an alpha tester), refusing makes the senior robobellboy more likely to decide to retrain you.
• Significantly improved the code for NPCs handling removing your clothing, They are more likely to respect locks that they have no way of removing, unless the game circumstances require that they MUST be able to remove your clothing to avoid infinite loops.
  • Certain NPCs carry around generic keys which they can use to unlock generic locks (or all locks, if bondage protection is at least partially enabled). Currently this is the guards, gladiators, mechanic, vampiress, kitsune, centaur, dominatrix and matron.
  • You can now request that these certain NPCs unlock your clothing / bondage, if it has a generic lock. (Without any points in bondage protection, many locks will only work with the specific key of the person who locked you in it.)

ALPHA TESTERS

• A new addiction stat - grossness addiction! This represents how your body and mind reacts to weird tastes (other than straight semen, milk or urine), and to smells. The following things that it represents are also the main ways that it increases.
  • It represents how much you enjoy worshipping (licking) feet or shoes.
  • It represents how much you enjoy having someone spit in your mouth (or kiss you sloppily).
  • It represents how much you enjoy tasting your own vaginal juices, and how much you enjoy felching cum out of other people's vaginas.
  • It represents how you are affected by a room that stinks of sex and/or cum.
  • It represents how you are affected by an unattractive sexual partner, such as the orc and the gross patrons.
  • It represents how you are affected by a non-humanoid sexual partner, such as the tentacle monsters.
  • It represents how much you enjoy tasting and drinking combinations of semen, milk and urine.
  • It represents whether you can bring yourself to lick things off of the floor.
  • [Gag reflex] It represents how upset and exhausted you are when a deepthroating session causes the contents of your stomach to come back up.
  • [Watersports] It represents how much you can tolerate / enjoy the smell of bathrooms that need cleaning.
  • [Watersports] It represents how much you enjoy your face being urinated on (as opposed to urination into your mouth, which is measured by urine taste addiction).
  • [Ass to mouth] It represents how much you are disgusted by / addicted to performing anilingus, or giving a blowjob to a cock that's just come out of a butthole.
    • [Extreme ass-to-mouth] It represents how much you can tolerate / enjoy eating or drinking things that have been up inside someone's butt, including anal creampies.
  • [Diapers] It represents how much you enjoy the smell of used diapers, and the sensation of being put in an already-used diaper, the experience of being facesat on by someone wearing a diaper, and the experience of being masturbated while in a used diaper.
• A new sex act that several NPCs can make you do (or you can suggest, by suggesting your face and having enough grossness addiction or low enough self-esteem, or debugmode enabled) - tongue worship (i.e. you licking NPCs, usually their feet)
  • [A2M] Sometimes NPCs will want you to lick their feet, but more often they'll make you lick their buttholes, which has almost a double grossness rating.
    • No NPCs have special unique anilingus scenes yet; even wenches won't have the cum in their butt mentioned right now.
  • NPCs such as the orc that are gross to have any sex with don't yet have increased levels of grossness for these gross acts, but it is planned.
• Added a new combat move for NPCs - enticing.
  • Once per combat, probably early on, an NPC can try and tempt you to your knees by saying what they are considering doing to you.
    • Depending on your arousal and relevant addiction level, you may struggle to resist taking them up on the offer and dropping to your knees (and the punishment immediately starting).
      • At super high levels, you may be forced to kneel.
      • At high levels, it will cause all of your attacks to do less damage to this NPC for the rest of the fight. How much less damage depends on how close you were to just automatically kneeling.
      • That's right, high addiction levels just went from not really that big of a deal to a pretty big deal.
• Fixed a bug where the suited woman didn't fly into a fit of rage when noticing you after you broke her glasses.
• Fixed a bug where the suited woman's scenes didn't happen if you were wearing fake nails.

OTHER FIXES

• Thanks to Jewel, a top fan, we found and fixed a longstanding major bug where once in a blue moon, the Mansion would be created as two separate halves, one of which was only accessible via teleportation or being dragged there, and would then often result in the player being stuck in that second half.
• Fixed a bug where clothing could get the quest to keep cum in your mouth, when you were gagged.
• Fixed a bug where giving the unicorn's love letters to the mechanic caused an error.
• Fixed a bug where protecting the wench from a royal guard caused an error when the wench rewarded you for the errand completion.
