This might be a little inside baseball. It's designed to seem like the first game made by a teenager in 199X just figuring out ZZT, but it's also subtly playing on the expectations of people familiar with ZZT. Bad on purpose...? ZZTorture is part of my Oktrollberfest 2023 game jam entry, which was actually four entire games with an installer that randomly picks one and deletes the others. This is only ZZTorture on its own -- please see separate entries for the others, A Dink in the Grass, Fire 1000, and Super Wall Puncher. Credits: Writing, Art, Music, Coding: Jeremy W. Kaufmann Tools: Zeta, Zima by Asie, Zedit2 by Lancer-X, Weave by WiL, ZZT by Tim Sweeney.

World created using the ZZT engine.

Please note that emulation via DOSBox frequently suffers from slow performance, laggy input, and audio issues, especially on more demanding ZZT worlds. An alternate emulator for ZZT such as Zeta or a modern source port like ClassicZoo may provide a better experience.
