Fair Game

A wee witchy Fair Day adventure made for Weans Game Jam: Summer 2025

Theme: What matters to me

🌸 What’s It About?

You’re a wee wanderer who arrives in Bo’ness just before Fair Day, the best day of the year! But something’s wrong… with the Queen! Whispers in the night hint at a big secret. With help from the Witches of Bo’ness, you’ll uncover the truth and save the town before the crown is stolen!

Fair Game is a friendly, story-based game you play in your computer’s terminal. It has:
- ✨ 3 different classes to choose from (Investigator, Explorer or Seer)
- 🧹 Magical choices and spells
- 🖼️ Fun ASCII art and animations
- ⚔️ A big battle with a smug Champion
- 🎶 Music that changes with the story
- 🧪 Silly skill checks
- 🧙 A happy ending (if you get there in time!)

 Why I Made It? 💖

What matters to me? My feelings and the people I love.
Cler is someone who matters to me. They’re from Bo’ness, and Bo’ness matters to them.
And what matters to Bo’ness? The Fair Day! That’s what inspired this whole game.
I made Fair Game in just one week, so there were lots of things I didn’t have time to add or polish. But I hope it still feels magical and kind.
