Description

You’ve won the local radio’s competition and now you are destined for a week away in a historical building in America. The building seems luxurious, classy and oozes grandiose. You feel at ease in your new lodgings until the conversation takes a deeper turn one night. 

“Did you know this place housed that greedy baron? Apparently, he still lurks - waiting for his chance to gain more wealth.”

Armed with this new knowledge you aim to make the most of your night alone, one internet search and you are ready to try and beat The Greedy Baron. 

The player must succeed in a series of puzzles in a tense, time-sensitive environment in order to perform the ritual successfully – miss a step or act too late and the Baron will win.

History

In January of 2020 a group of students at Solent University started a unit that would involve them working through the GDLC to make a fully fledged game by May. The Greedy Baron is the result of their hard work and efforts.
