Quest for the Magic Healing Plant
by Adam G. Crutchlow

Quest for the Magic Healing Plant is an AGT text adventure game and is © 1995, 1996, and 2002 by Adam G. Crutchlow. The AGT version was released in 1995. A port to Inform 6 was released in 1996, and another port to ADRIFT 3.9 was released in 2002.

In this simple game, you play as a father whose daughter Crystal is very ill. You've heard that there's a magic plant nearby that can cure any illness, but you've never seen it. It's Crystal's last chance. Find that magic plant and cure her.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on the Inform 6 port, Release 2 of the game.
