Ever wanted to live the life of a hobbit? Eat several square meals a day, smoke pipe weed and sit back and watch the world go by? Well, we can’t promise a simulation game that does it all, but if you want a glimpse into the lives of the Tolkien-inspired halfling archetypes we all know and love, why not Go to Halfling Deal released in ?
As the setup goes, you’re a halfling living in a typical Tolkienesque halfling community. The deal, as it is called, is shaken when your brother commits a mischief. Now saddled with the reputation of being a ‘disturber of the peace’, you must navigate the complexities of half a life while dealing with the consequences of your brother’s actions.
“In a hole in the ground, lived a hobbit.”
Yes, if you try and compare any writing to the works of the old JRR Tolkien people, there will probably be a lack. But if you want comfort, Narrative-based choice-your-own-adventurethen Halfling Dale looks set to offer a variety of casual adventures across 20 different endings, 10 possible routes and more.
While it may lack graphics, mainly driven by the text-based nature of a custom adventure game, we think Halfling Dale looks pretty interesting, especially for this game. Which is apparently made by a small development team. You can pick up the game on Google Play or the iOS App Store, with the opportunity to try before purchasing and unlocking the full story.
