Snail Trek - Chapter 4: The Final Fondue invites you to relive nostalgic adventures as you guide a molluscan crew through an existential crisis, seeking a new world in this text-driven graphic indie game.
About this game
In the style of the early Sierra Online adventure games, Snail Trek has colorful EGA-ish graphics and a text parser interface. Relive the nostalgia in these bite-sized adventures - but without all the pain. Autosaves, a text parser with auto-suggest, and puzzles with no dead ends, all combine to bring this old genre into the modern era.
In Chapter 4, it seems like the end is near. You've fallen into a trap and your entire civilization may be doomed. Can you muster your courage and cleverness one last time to save the day?
Key Features
- Switchable characters - solve puzzles by having the snails work together.
- Autosaves - no need to save every few minutes (though you still can if you want).
- A text parser with both auto-suggest and auto-correct - fat finger your way to puzzle glory (but you can turn them off if you want to suffer more greatly).
- A text parser that understands what objects are in front of you, so you can be lazy and just type things like 'get' or 'look'.
- CRT emulation mode that gives those pixels an ever-so-slightly fuzzy look.
- A stereophonic score.
- Cute snails.
- Deaths (but hey, autosaves).
- No dead ends! Puzzle your way around with impunity!
- Widescreen aspect ratio, since monitors are more rectangular now.

Dancing DLC is here
If you enjoyed the series and want to support the developer a little more, you can purchase this DLC which lets you turn any room in Snail Trek 4 into a disco. The ball drops, the snails can do the moonwalk, and the Zhawks bop a bit. :-) http://store.steampowered.com/app/842820/Snail_Trek_4__Disco_Donation_DLC/ (Also accessible from the game's Snail menu) https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32198700/cc0248a2da2f2209c6791e34f3c18e79eac6c21b.jpgRead full article on Community Announcements (philfort)Patch NotesOfficial
One more patch
I've made another update that: - fixes some parser bugs that people have reported (or provides better responses to some actions that make sense, or that need an explanation why they won't work). - provides a few more gentle hints (if you look for them) about various puzzles that are stumping people a bit too much. - prepares the game for some upcoming DLC!Read full article on Community Announcements (philfort)Patch NotesOfficial
