Console RPGs have you visiting towns all the time, but Quiet Console Town puts you in the place of the mayor of a budding new city! Build shops, attract adventurers, hope villains overlook you: all the aspects of a console RPG town are yours!

Python 2.2.1 or better (http://www.python.org/) Pygame 1.5.5 or better (http://www.pygame.org/)

First, extract the archive - for windows this is a .zip file, and for unix it's a .tar.gz

If you have the windows binary version, simply run qct.exe. If not, you'll need the requirements above. Windows users can simply double-click on the qct.py file. Unix users cd into the qct directory and then either: ./qct.py or if that for some reason doesn't work: /path/to/python qct.py

You start the game with one townsperson (the mayor) who will always be there, one house (the mayor's house) which will always be there, and one visiting adventurer who will probably take off in a few turns. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor and enter to select whatever the cursor's on.
