About the Escape from Project Erinia APK

Can you overcome the obstacles and escape alive?

Gameplay and Legacy APK

Experience the nostalgia of retro text adventure games with all the charm of the ’80s and ’90s as you unravel the secrets hidden on the island of Project Erinia. This adventure was originally penned in PAWS and published in 2020 for ZX Spectrum computers. It was later modified in December 2023 using the DAAD parser from Aventuras AD to make it compatible with other retro systems. The Enhanced version, created in 2024 using Uto’s Maluva program and DAAD Ready, incorporates raster graphics and enhances location descriptions for a more immersive experience. In early 2025, the game was translated into English and ported to a wider range of 8-bit and 16-bit systems.

Game Mechanics and Tips APK

The game includes a life counter that can be checked at any time by typing LIFE. The maximum value is 100, and it is crucial to pay attention to environmental descriptions, act cautiously, and save the game occasionally. Throughout the adventure, the protagonist will encounter enemies and must utilize available weapons and ammunition. Examining a weapon can provide valuable information to aid in progress. A user’s manual has been included for players new to this type of adventure or unfamiliar with the parsers of the era. Feel free to consult it before playing if needed.

Aids and Enhancements APK

The vocabulary has been expanded compared to the original version, but we recommend trying the verb “use” in relation to objects or elements present—it may help you navigate past certain obstacles. Additionally, Tisiphone’s Diary is provided—a narrated walkthrough of the game that can assist those encountering difficulties. However, we suggest using it only as a last resort, as it reveals the game’s plot and may detract from the experience.

Platforms and Requirements APK

The game is multiplatform, available for Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, MSX, and Amstrad CPC. The file you download will be a cassette or disk image for one of these systems. It will not auto-run, so an emulator is required. The game can also be transferred to physical media to run on real hardware. Note that in the Commodore 64 version, loading times can be slow, taking up to approximately 9 seconds.
