Encounter: A 8-Bit Noir Adventure... - DIY Physical Edition

This completely free DLC gives you everything you need to transform your digital version of Encounter into a physical edition,  just like the retro adventure games of the 1980s.

Unzip the pack and you’ll get high-quality, print-ready files:

• Full 20-page game manual in PDF (plus separate hi-res cover files for that authentic box look)

• Inlay artwork and floppy disk label (compatible with both 3" and 3.5" disks)

• The classified “Mission Report” dossier (print double-sided for maximum secrecy)

• An aged newspaper clipping straight from 1982

• Two detailed maps – the official area map and the infamous hand-drawn napkin sketch

• Four eerie Polaroid photographs taken during the original investigation

• A “This Happened in 1982” photo montage

This does not include the outer packaging, so you may need to source a box large enough to contain documents in A5 format.

To create the physical floppy, you will probably need to use a device such as a Greazeweasle to convert one of the .DSK files located in the "Game" subfolder of your Encounter Steam installation into a real floppy disk.

Here are some of the files you get.

The Manual Cover and Inside Cover, these are also part of the PDF document but having them separate allows you to get the cover printed in color in high quality and have the pages of the manual printed in black and white for example.
