Whether in homage to classic TEXT-BASED ROLEPLAYING GAMES, as a way of providing CLUES as to the IMPORTANCE or INTERACTIVE NATURE of CERTAIN OBJECTS, or in imitation of Andrew Hussie's PROBLEM SLEUTH, a number of adventures employ SELECTIVE CAPITALIZATION or other similar means of STYLISTICALLY DESCRIBING their ENVIRONMENTS and ITEMS.
Examples[]
- All three of SonicLover's adventures: You Are Here, Hydrogen and Tetris.
- Alchemagic
- Amnesia Man
- Asylum
- Better off Alone
Uses bold text for various interactive objects.
From CHARACTER NAMES to IMPORTANT NOUNS to SPELLS AND TECHS this adventure is riddled with this trope.
- Colonization Quest
- Escape Adventure #712
- FoodStuffs
- Homelysong
- Luxray Liaison
MSMario Adventure- Nameless.
While it's difficult to tell because only one item has been seen in a font other than the (all-caps) adventure-specific one, the BATTERY was indeed rendered in capitals.
Originally employed CAPS but switched to Bold Text for describing important items, because CAPS MEANS SHOUTING.
