Dull Acres

Dull Acres is a free, monochrome, single-player, keyboard controlled exploration game. There is no colour in this game, everything is either black, white or grey. The player explores a forest moving from one clearing to the next sometimes finding things or meeting other people. The game world is not fixed, the player can retrace their path and end up in a completely new clearing. The player's character can usually interact with people they encounter, when this happens a text screen is shown. In many cases only one interaction is allowed however sometimes returning to the same person will show a slightly different line of text. The game has music and autosaves on exit.
