Not a jam submission, since I started work on it a little while before the event and used some comissioned artwork (even if it technically fits the theme). Even so, I’m very happy to introduce: 3rd Circle. A text adventure where you play as an angel sent on a mission in Hell and you either help her resist the temptations there or help her indulge herself to the max.
It’s a pretty short game once you know what you’re doing, so I’ll hold out on putting out a guide for a few days.
I hope you all enjoy .
Update: I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for giving this game over 5000 plays and another thanks to ExtraBaggageClaim for his amazing artwork.
Interesting concept, and decently written. I found an oversight I figured you’d want to know about: if you drink the black wine until blacking out it doesn’t get rid of the wine, so you can do that unlimited times, growing larger each time.
I also got as far as the eyeless guard before getting stuck. I’m not personally a fan of needing to type out commands, but up until the eyeless guard at least none of the commands needed to be guessed at. And I’m sure I’m just missing something obvious on that floor.
Overall though this game has a real nice concept. Really appreciate one of these text adventures that can flesh out a world without going on for walls upon walls of text.
So I can’t figure out what to do on the second floor, in the Dorms. I can’t figure out how to interact with the Bookish Demon nor Maxxie, I swear I’ve tried just using just about every item in my inventory and nothing happens. Am I missing something?
I already went back downstairs to the Torment Sphere too.

Sorry about that. I ran into an issue where some puzzles basically solved themselves if the commands showed up in the menu. I might need to rethink which ones do/don’t show up though.
As for the eyeless guard, you need to shake the plant from the zoo to disguise your voice, give her the skeleton hand from the trash to pass it off as your own and then give her crown from the black statue.
Okay so I managed to beat the game now, but I’m left wondering if I missed anything. If there were any other ways to gain even more weight or any secret events that I just missed.
Like if there’s something you can do with the broken statue, or the big fancy sofa, or the creature in the medium cage, or with the tiny dragon.
