The Demon Jar (also titled Fosdyke's Folly) is a retro-style illustrated text-adventure horror game for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, C64, Plus 4 and ZX Spectrum (NEXT), created by Alan Pemberton. Set in a Victorian summer evening, players guide the young gentleman Oswald Stanley through a series of straightforward puzzles while avoiding a murderous spirit, with an undo feature implemented via the classic RAMSAVE/RAMLOAD functions. The title was built with the DAAD Ready adventure system and its graphics were produced using AI tools such as Google Flow and ChatGPT, and it carries a warning that it is unsuitable for children or nervous players.
