December 2023 Alpha Tester Unlock File (Patreon)

This file will only work with the December 2023 versions of TQ and later versions.

To unlock the content (including the ability to use 'debug'):

1) Download the attached gblorb file.

2) If you are using the Windows Launcher, STOP! The launcher is dead. Area57 has been AWOL for over half a year and while we hope he's okay, we can't get his launcher working until the day he appears again, if that ever comes.

3) Move the file into the same folder as Trap Quest.

4) Open this file with your interpreter as if it was a game. For most of you, this means opening it with Git.exe.

You're done! 'Debug' should now work in the main game, and this is the best way to check that the file is working correctly. The game normally only checks for the unlock file when you start a fresh new game. To get the game to check for a new unlock file in the middle of a playthrough, type 'update donators file'.

After using this file you do NOT need to also use the beta unlock file; the alpha file unlocks everything. In fact using the beta unlock file will override what you've done here and prevent the use of debug commands.

When you run this file, the text shown will also give you instructions on how to apply the password in Fabularium (Android) or Frotz (iOS) or similar apps where it's challenging to get this file in the correct location. The other way to get it working in Fabularium is detailed here.
