THINK Responses

It occurred to me in January 2018 to add responses to THINK to my responses project. I'm only recording generic thinking here; responses to THINK ABOUT something would have to be its own page.

1958: Dancing With Fear (2017)

[THINK gives an in-context hint in this game. For example:]

Thinking: "Let's crash this party. I had that invitation in my hand a second ago, where did I leave it... did I put it in my purse...?"
[etc.]

69,105 Keys (2009)

You think about nothing in particular.

77 Verbs (2020)

You've been doing a lot of that recently, and it hasn't helped much.

Also: 85 Verbs; The Magpie Takes the Train.

9:05 (1999)

You try to concentrate.

The Abbey (2008)

They say reflection is good for the soul.

Absence of Law (2017)

Thinking...

[Commands are listed.]

Thinking is all I can do, Dr. Law.

Note that the AI continues to make comments about thinking in subsequent turns.

It might be a good idea to get out of the rack.

[etc.]

Adventurer's Consumer Guide (2007)

"If that monster needed glasses, it would be pretty weird glasses."
"Tentacle monsters. Why does it always have to be tentacle monsters. Or zombie wolfs. Or parrot women. Or sentient livers. Or kamikaze sheep. Or jumping oaks. Or..."
"I guess I should explore the caves now."
"Those barbarians think they are so though! Just because they can beat up anybody!"

The response to THINK depends on your current situation. (TODO: Research this more!)

The Adventures of Houdini (2012)

You sit still and think very very hard.

Okay, done. Can you run around some more now?

The Adventures of the President of the United States (2003)

You can't think of anything.

Ailihphilia (2018)

A knihtg (sic) appears and taps you on the shoulder, and you suddenly recall big-picture things.

As far as you know, there are no challenges where you were pretty sure what to do, but you didn't have the right item yet.

Other things to try, in random order:
You need to blast through the KaoS oAK north of here, eventually.

You may want to examine this item you haven't, yet: the Darer Ad. You can also try SCE RECS to see scenery you haven't examined.
You don't have any last lousy points to figure that've been clued in-game.

This response changes as you progress through the game.

Aisle (1999)

You'll have to say what you want to think about.

THINK ABOUT [something] is a more useful command.

Akkoteaque (2013)

[cycling:]

You think about all the wonderful things you would be doing if you weren't on this horrible island. Like eating cheese. Have you seen any cheese on this island? No. You have not.
You take a moment to think about your dead parents. And how lucky they are not to be here.
You think about some random thing. Does it really matter what?

Alabaster (2008)

You haven't discovered much yet.
You think back over the things that you know:
You and she have a pact.

You consider excuses: say that the safe haven is too far away to reach tonight? explain that you must stop here to collect the heart?
[etc.]

Responses to THINK evolve as the story progresses.

Alcohol solves everything (2007)

Thinking, you have decided long ago, is not for you. You are a man of passion - or so you say.

Alias 'The Magpie' (2018)

What do you want to hint?

All Hope Abandon (2005)

You think Professor Wortschlachter is talking total tosh, and pretentious tosh at that, but you feel you had best keep your thoughts to yourself.
You were thinking how lucky you were to fetch up in the breakfast queue just behind this attractive blonde woman you’d already noticed several times before.
You think you're very unwell.
You think you’d rather be somewhere else; the orange glow to the north looks the best bet.
[etc.]

This response changes based on your current situation.

All Roads (2001)

[on the scaffold:]
You offer up your prayers to God. If he hears you, he does not respond.
What a good idea.

Along The River (2010)

Lots of things happen at once, you know. Lots of things. In fact, everything you do seems to take the exact same amount of time, and happen all at once. It's so odd.

ANATIDAEPHOBIA (2017)

There is only one thing uppermost in your mind: That. Goddamn. Duck.

Anchorhead (1998)

You pause momentarily, lost in thought.

And yet it moves (2014)

What a spectacle of natural achievement the thought is.
You need to find a way to talk to Galileo freely.
[etc.]

And what were you doing up until now - not thinking?
You think it might be a good idea to try HELP or HINT.

A Beginning (2004)

You ponder things, and why they are.

Belief (2012)

It's rather astonishing that you still can, considering the last thing you remember was the very start of what seemed likely to be a quite terminal encounter with the ground at high speed.

That's pretty much the first thing you remember, too, at least in any detail - there was some falling, and before that there was some kind of argument, and before that, just a blank space in your mind where a life ought to go.

Bellclap (2004)

He says the whole point of this exercise is that he doesn't have to do that for himself.

The response is situation dependent.

The Blind House (2010)

About what, specifically?

Blue Lacuna (2008)

If you're not sure what to do, remember you can type LOOK or press enter alone to be reminded of your surroundings. Make sure you try typing any emphasized direction keywords you haven't explored or objects you haven't examined.

Asking other characters you meet about obstacles is also a good tactic. It also may help to sleep on your problem, particularly in a comfy, shady spot.

If you want specific hints, try asking on the newsgroup rec.games.int-fiction or e-mailing the address below.

Finally, if you encounter a bug or problem with the workings of the story, think something is unclear, or have suggestions, the author would love to hear from you. Please write to aaron@lacunastory.com or visit the above URL.

Book and Volume (2005)

You ponder, for a while, whether international relations could benefit from the approach of a seven-layered reference model.
You ponder, for a while, whether the criminal justice system can fruitfully be seen as dealing with "hardware problems" and "software problems."
You ponder, for a while, whether there is there singing school but studying monuments of its own magnificence, which is something you heard somebody claim wasn't the case once.
You ponder, for a while, which programming language children would naturally express themselves in, if raised in the absence of programming languages.

Brain Guzzlers from Beyond! (2015)

You think for a while....
Why hasn't Kassie gone to her audition? Is she that slow or is something like keeping her?

(hmmm... what about Red Leicester, Tilsit, Caerphilly, Bel Paese, Red Windsor, Stilton, Gruyere, Emmental, Norwegian Jarlsberger, Liptauer, ...?)

You recall many things, but none seem of relevance at the moment.

Clusterflux (2019)

See how-to-play-IF card for help with commands. To see a list of topics that you can ask other characters, type "topics". Any words in bold are new topics you can ask. If your display doesn't show bold characters, just check "topics" periodically to see any additions. There are opportunities in this game to really alter the course of events in the story. Multiple traversals can be narratively rewarding. Stay curious. If you're stuck, examining things usually yields clues.

Coffee Quest II (2002)

Unngh Uuugh!
No, it's no good it just hurts when I do that, besides you haven't the time
you need to escape.

Cogito (2010)

*** You are ***

You think about Coca-Cola, and how it has revolutionized your life.

Counterfeit Monkey (2012)

Here's what we think we need to do:

Meet your colleague Slango at Counterfeit Monkey

This response changes during the game, listing your current goals as appropriate.

The Cove (2000)

When was the last time you where here? It must be going on six years now. You remember everything about that day; how lovely it was in the morning, how clear the skies and sea were, how much you had been looking foward to it. A tear forms in the corner of your eye only to be whisked away by a sudden gust of wind. If only memories could be as easily removed.

Cragne Manor (2018)

[if on Railway Platform:] You're worried about Peter. He was supposed to be back by now, but you haven't heard a word from him since he went to his family's old house in Backwater. You've never been there before; he doesn't like to talk about his family much, and you got the impression there was some bad blood there.
You're probably just being silly, right? He'll turn up and you'll both laugh about how worried you were. Probably his family are perfectly nice, normal people.

In most locations, the command responds with Inform's default: What a good idea. I have only checked the first four locations.

Critical Breach (2010)

Your mind feels broken, and when you try to remember something it hurts. But you feel angry.
What a good idea.

Crocodracula: The Beginning (2020)

You mutter to yourself: "I should talk to Miss Muriel."

This response probably changes as the game progresses.

This response likely changes as you progress in the game.

That's what sidekicks are for!

I searched the undercurrents for a good idea.

Dr. Dumont's Wild P.A.R.T.I. (1999)

Hmm...

Dynamite Powers vs. the Ray of Night! (2018)

You think a moment, then come up with a brilliant plan.

Earl Grey (2009)

A thought comes to you: "type help."

East Grove Hills (2010)

I have enough to think about.

Eat Me (2017)

[First time acts like HELP:]
Considering what you should do? I'll lend my advice if you'd like. Just think whenever you want help, and I'll offer a hint. You could also review your commands to see what actions are available.

[Afterwards, repsonses are instructions in context with your situation, for example:]

Your manacles are edible, darling. Eat them.
I'm sure that cheesecake door would taste divine.
You should leave, my dear. The door's open.
[etc.]

The Elysium Enigma (2006)

Your mind can think. And you can think about the things that cross your mind.

Yes; only clear thought and daring will avail you now.

Final Exam (2015)

You do not need to do that.

Finish your Foe! (2018)

[when foe is Piet:]
"I don't want to play." you mutter, sitting down by the weeds. You think about how your family lost the yard in the first place, how uncle screwed you all over. And once again, you come to the conclusion that it is, ultimately, your fault. If you hadn't blabbed, uncle would never have gotten the idea, you're sure. Piet sits down next to you, putting his arm around your shoulder and again tries to tell you that it isn't your fault.
*** But the certainty will remain. ***
[when foe is vampire queen:]
You pause to think. Your wife, husband, and children are free of the Shadow Ruby's curse now. Should you really still risk your life? Doesn't your family deserve that you abandon the battle to return to them? But you shake off these thoughts. Abandoning this fight would solve nothing. The red queen would just target your family again, and that time, she might just kill them. No. While you owe your family your save return, you also owe them to destroy this threat to their safety. Not to mention that the red queen is a threat to the church of Hielon, the nearby City of Bridges, Kyr, yes, to the whole world.
*** You re-enter the battle with new vigour. ***
[when foe is shadow serpent:]
Turning to think about your predicament, your mind wanders to the old legends. It is said that the shadow serpent has a weak spot somewhere on its body... but how would anyone know? There is only one shadow serpent isn't there? If there is more than one shadow serpent, have you tracked down the one that destroyed your village? Does it matter, even? Then you hear a rustling from behind you and from in front of you. Two shadow serpents are flanking you, one biting into your legs and the other into your upper body. You thankfully do not live long enough to feel getting torn in two by the monsters.
*** That answers a few questions. ***

First Things First (2001)

Hmmmmmm.

Fit For A Queen (2001)

You put your mind to it, and after a moment, you think up the solution to the puzzle. You're so clever!
Now you'll be able to get further in this thing...
Your boss Mildred checks up on you. "How many times have I told you not to play that game on company time," she says. "You've got customers to deal with. Stop it now."
[Your score has just gone up by five points.]
What a good idea.

Flight of the Hummingbird (2010)

You ponder your next move.

Floatpoint (2006)

You run over the things you still need to get done before you can settle in:
go to the Clearing to meet Valenti
show up at the Embassy

Your list of goals changes as appropriate during the game.

A Fly On The Wall, or An Appositional Eye (2017)

[At the party:] I think I better get to the Fly Eye.
[In the Fly Eye: I should look at the monitors.

For a Place by the Putrid Sea (2020)

Fragile Shells (2010)

It makes your head hurt worse to do so, but you'll do your best.

The Frenetic Five vs. The Seven Deadly Dwarves (2002)

Thinking is not the answer to this one. Or at least you hope not, because it’s not your strong suit at the moment.

Further (2013)

Time passes.

Galatea (2000)

Your mind is a blank slate.

Gamlet (2004)

You are too startled to think clearly.
Your hair bristles with cerebral activity. But what good will thinking bring about? Thoughts are not deeds, not on this mortal plane.

Gateway of the Ferrets (2019)

You ponder a bit on your circumstances.

You need to unlock the gateway somehow to escape.

It seems likely that you will need to befriend both ferrets. Each has abilities the other lacks, and they can probably help you get out.

The ferrets appear to be friendly and smart enough to understand basic requests. What sorts of things can you do to befriend them? Maybe you can play with them? Maybe you can make them laugh? Maybe you can pat them like little dogs? You recall the wisdom of Scooby-Doo; if only you had something like Scooby Snacks!

The pedestal seems significant. Perhaps there is more to find there. Maybe there are still secrets around the pedestal.

Does this response change with game progress?

Gigantomania (2010)

I'm too tired and hungry to consider thinking.

Gilded: The Lily and the Cage (2005)

What a good idea.

You think about the goblet.

The Great Xavio (2004)

"Hagerston. At last! I'm glad to see that my lessons on the benefit of the logical method have finally begun to reach you. Let us think together. I'm sure that we'll find that thinking will be useful throughout the course of our adventure."

Grief (2008)

[when asleep:] All you have to do is wake up...
[else:] What a good idea.

Gris et Jaune (2010)

Your thoughts quickly spiral into nothing more than wordless rage and frustration.

Groove Billygoat (2014)

The minute you turn your attention in meta-fashion to the inner workings of your thoughts, they seem to shut down and grind to a halt, almost as if the gears in your brain have some sort of performance anxiety. You avert your attention to yourself so that you won't think yourself mentally incapable and go off the rails somehow.

Grubbyville (2016)

You haven't met anyone yet. But they are there. People with extra-EXTRA-curricular activities must be around.

I assume this response changes as the game progresses.

Gun Mute (2008)

You think you should get to Elias before noon.

Hadean Lands (2014)

After months of diligent practice, you have memorized several common alchemical formulae:
    an elementary word of binding
    a word of essential nature
    a simple sealing word
    an unsealing mantra

You have picked up at least one fact:
a lecture on aromas

This is the initial response to THINK. As the game progresses, this response evolves.

Right-o, consider it done.

HOLY ROBOT EMPIRE (2014)

You already are.

Hoosegow (2010)

You'd prefer not to. Too many memories of

[first time:] the war and how you came to oppose its ideology.
[second time:] how your plantation was torched.
how you ended up as little more than a lackey to an aging itinerant cook with a penchant for intricate but ultimately doomed schemes.

Hornets' Nest (2014)

Yep, that's a strong talent of yours, sitting around, drinking a beer and thinking.

How to Win at Rock Paper Scissors (2016)

If you think you can think your way out of this, then you've got another think coming.

You search your mind for something useful that might apply to this situation, but come up empty.

Hunter, in Darkness (1999)

That's your job.

I'll (2000)

It's hard to think when the world is a monster, bad to swallow you whole. But then, nobody ever said it would be easy. Easy come, easy go. Goin' places. Win, place, or show? Show us yer tits.

Somehow, thinking just isn't accomplishing much.

A sudden thunderous noise outside draws my attention, just in time to see a giant lizard's face peering through the window, and then a hand smashes through the ceiling, a giant lizard hand (paw? I wonder), and it grabs me, and the lizard's mouth is open, rows of glistening, slimy teeth, and my body is rent, torn asunder, I feel my blood spattering around this beast's mouth... and then I feel no more.

*** I have lost ***

Identity (2004)

You've been trying hard to remember more about your past, but nothing seems to quicken the slow triggering of your memory.

You pause to reflect.

You rack your brains, but the brilliant ideas fail to materialize.

Jay Schilling's Edge of Chaos (2020)

I thought, therefor I was.

Junior Arithmancer (2018)

From what you remember, the Academy's entrance examinations are designed primarily to test your understanding of basic spell principles in a particular subject. Because of this, the spells that you see on the exams are created specifically for the exams; they're not general-purpose spells, and you're not expected to have seen them before.

For Arithmancy, the spells usually give you ways to form new numbers from old ones. Understanding this is the primary focus of the exam.

A Killer Headache (2012)

You can't really think at all right now, with the pounding in your head and the gnawing in your stomach.

The King of Shreds and Patches (2007)

You consider your present situation...

-- You should make your way to your dinner date with John Croft at his home on Stoney Street, just south of the Thames.

This response changes as appropriate during the game.

Land of the Mountain King (2017)

You ponder for a while.

I can't imagine how that would help.

I don't understand that sentence.

Also: Coma!.

We are always thinking.

How'd that work out for you?

Confused about the ` think ' part.

Lockdown (2015)

HINT: Often things get hidden under tables and chairs.

A Long Drink (2015)

Objective

Val said we were going to spend the weekend at her friend's cabin in the mountains. Maybe it was childish or stubborn, trying to cling to my independence like this. I'd decided to drive myself, even through this weather.

You take a moment to focus your thoughts.

Madam Spider's Web (2006)

No chance: too much training on the bottle and the beat for that.

Marble Madness (2001)

You are aware only of the downward imperative.

You pause for a moment of silent reflection.

That's a tall order.

Metamorphoses (2000)

You're thinking pretty much constantly.

'Mid the Sagebrush and the Cactus (2010)

[In Easy mode, cycle down, repeating on last:]

Shooting down tough gunslinging asswipes is something you do for breakfast -- but this boy? That's not really your style.

(You are now slightly concentrated.)
And not just because he's so young and innocent... there's also, you know, that nagging feeling that he is justified and you are not.

(You are now somewhat concentrated.)
But then again: you can't afford to be sentimental right now.

(You are now highly concentrated.)

THINK has a complicated response in this game. If you're shot, you can lose your concentration. More TODO.

Mite (2010)

You stop to daydream for a moment before snapping back to reality.

A Moment of Hope (1999)

Haven't you done enough of that recently?

Moments Out Of Time (2001)

Done.

The Moon Watch (2008)

Act before thinking or think before acting? A good communist always knows what to do.

Muggle Studies (2012)

You don't need that verb in this game. Which is not to say that you don't need to think, of course.

My Angel (2000)

Thoughts rush round my head, as they are prone to do, I suppose. They are messy, and she does not listen.

Mystery House Possessed (2005)

The first order of business is to meet up with your relatives, and get that over with. They should be in the Entry Hall, waiting for you to come in the front door.

I assume this response changes as appropriate during the game.

Möbius (2006)

You're still a bit too confused for serious thought.
You should examine the scientist before doing anything else.

[etc.]

The response changes as appropriate as the game progresses.

Napier's Cache (2020)

You ponder things for a while. Though you remember that Napier is never very complimentary about your thinking abilities.

After you think about a memory, it's removed from the menu. New memories are added to the menu as you play. The number of unexamined memories is noted in the status line.

The Newcomer (2001)

Inspiration does not seem to be forthcoming.

"Now, should I sleep right here, or crawl to bed? Let's think it over once more..."
"What can I do to protect my drinks? Think, Barkley, think!"
"Yes, I should think everything over carefully. There's nothing worse than rash actions."
[etc.]

Nightfall (2008)

You know where she lives, of course: in a flat at 18 Gladstone Terrace, a few blocks south of the railway station, so that would be one obvious place to try. The other would be her office, at 12 Devon Road, some way to the east of the station, across the river (you can use the GO TO command to find your way round the city; e.g. GO TO HER OFFICE or GO TO GLADSTONE TERRACE).

TODO: Find out if this message changes later in the game.

Ninja's Fate (2010)

You close your eyes and lose yourself in deep thought. Your mental well-being increases.

Onna Kabuki: A Tale of Theatre and Revenge (2017)

[as Akechi:] The Lady Naka might need Akechi's help! Will he come in her aid, stay and fight to die a hero's death... or escape and live a coward's life?
[as monk:] "Cold grows the night. Sore are the old bones. The warmth of bed beckons."
[as Shiratama:] "Oh heavens, I still have to get my face on! I must apply make up right away."
"I still haven't put on the kimonos for my character! Hurry, girl, you must hurry!"

Oppositely Opal (2015)

You need to find something to write with. Like a quill and ink. Yes, a quill and ink would absolutely be totally the most helpful.
You need to find something to write with. Like a quill and ink.
Your tummy rumbles, and your mind wanders to thoughts of food. Delicious, delicious food. If only you had brought Spam with you. You usually travel with Spam, but you were worried you'd be accused of sneaking in unapproved ingredients, so you left it at home. UGH.
You're thinking of food again. The witches at PotionComp will be talking about how they prepare human, of course. You'll pretend to follow along, but you've never actually eaten human. In fact, you have a sneaking suspicion that none of the other witches have either. But it's super cool to talk about and stuff.
The more you try to think about something other than food, the more you actually think about food. You should probably just work on finding the ingredients.

Orevore Courier (2007)

It's very difficult to think with all the blinking and buzzing going on.

The Origin of Madame Time (2018)

You're thinking. But it's not helping. Not in this land beyond the bounds of time.

The Orion Agenda (2004)

[if in opening scene:] It takes me a moment to get past the pain and the cobwebs in my head, but then in a flash, it all comes back. The station, the village, the outpost, the old man... and her. Her. All I can see is her.
But it ends with her. I want to remember it from the beginning. So that's where I'll start.
My name is Stark. Captain Jon Stark. And I work for SciCorps. SciCorps: The galaxy-spanning mega-corporation that is in charge of secretly monitoring promising new alien species that dot our corner of the universe, all in the hopes of one day inviting them to join the League of Sentient Systems.
My current assignment is at Orion 3, where SciCorps has been keeping an eye on a pre-industrial civilization of a highly spiritual people. I work in Central Control of Station One, a space station orbiting Orion 3 working as the primary base of operations. I applied for a promotion to field agent several weeks ago, but I hadn't received a reply yet...
[You are now at Central Control.]

[as Amelia:] I've already thought quite a bit about my predicament and come up short. I need your help, Owl.
[as Dirk:] I was told that you were a brilliant consult, Owl, with mental faculties to rival even my own. If you want me to solve this problem myself, why am I even talking to you?
[as Owl:] What a good idea.

A Paper Moon (2003)

Your thinking is attrocious.

[as Lane:] You wish you had Nathalie's job.

Saied (1998)

You engage in some serious deep thought.

Also: Chicks Dig Jerks.

Sand-dancer (2010)

Most of the thinking you do nowadays comes from either smoking or brooding.

Sardoria (2003)

Nothing helpful comes to your mind. Maybe it'd help if you thought about something specific.

Savoir-Faire (2002)

As always, the more you command yourself to think, the less readily the ideas flow.

Scroll Thief (2014)

You are currently contemplating the following problems:
- getting into the library proper

You have no spells committed to memory.

This response evolves during the game.

A scurvy gift for Bosn Chuck (2000)

Kind of a stumper, isn't it.

sequitur (2014)

Jenny did offer to help, Cochone thinks. "I need some fresh eyes on this," Cochone says. "Will you take a look?"

"Okay," Jenny says. "I can do it from my laptop. Just watch your screen."

Of course you can, Cochone thinks.

"Okay, let's see if we can put a couple of tracks in the Sequence starting with the long chain. Maybe we should try putting "Google" in there with "Torching" sometime after it."

"Yeah, maybe," Cochone says.

This is just one possible response early in the game.

Several Other Tales from Castle Balderstone (2020)

Hmm. Yes.

That was hard work!

Sparkle (2014)

I have no information about the nature of the universe at the moment.

(Find a quiet place and MEDITATE.)

Sparrow's Song (2001)

What a good idea, and nobody is just saying that because you're the baron, either.

Speculative Fiction (2011)

Boss, I have enough trouble working in here without you trying to deafen me.

Spiral (2012)

[at very beginning:]
- For a moment, everything is blank. Tabula rasa. You could be anyone - a terrorist, a psychopath, a drug addict, a prostitute, a mugger. But then memories flood in all at once, as if you'd asked to borrow a lighter and got your house set on fire instead. You're Helen Wright. You can picture the faces of your mum and dad and your older sister Mary in your house in London; you can see the bright white walls of that house - everything white and pristine, like a hospital; you can see yourself playing with dolls at the foot of your bed; you can see yourself telling Mary to leave you alone; you see the park, you're on the swings, you're down the slide, you're on your own, playing with the playground grass; you're at school, you're scribbling in your book, you're the last one out of the classroom, and the first one in. You're eight years old, and the memories are still coming...
- Faster and faster, your memories are coming back, and you can't keep up with them. Then, suddenly, they stop. The last one is just an ordinary day on the London Underground and you're going to lectures. How did you get from there to here? That can't be the end - that can't have been the last thing that happened. Unless perhaps some random madman came along, beat you up and locked you in here. But who would want to kidnap you? There's nothing special about you - far from it.
- You know who you are now: Helen Wright, just another horrible person. Your memories have come back, though apparently not all of them.
[as Helen in train:]
- You'll still die, Helen. Soon it will all be over and you'll never have to feel afraid or lonely or confused or indeed anything. You can't see any way of killing yourself, but you hope that whatever mess you've got yourself into, it'll end the way you want it to - with finality.
- You imagine breaking free of your binds and making a noose with one of the ropes, and hanging yourself from the lamp in the middle of the room. That would be pretty scary for the other guy, of course... You'd set him free too, obviously.
- Time to take stock. Here you are, tied up, gagged, sitting on the floor in an iron train car, with only a load of dead wasps and a complete stranger who is similarly incapacitated for company. Now, what does this mean? Can you solve this one by induction? Stop being silly, Helen, this is bloody serious. It means you've been kidnapped. But why would that happen? You can't understand why a kidnapping of this magnitude would happen to a nobody like you. You would expect a random psychopath to just hack your limbs off and be done with it; if somebody is actually keeping you alive, it makes you think they need you for something.
- What's going to happen when you need the toilet? You're fine at the moment - you're pretty dehydrated if anything - but this could get a hell of a lot more unpleasant an hour or two down the line.
- A strange man who is about your age is right opposite you. Of course it's silly - it's just you being hyperhypersensitive, but you can't stop the thought from flashing through your mind. What if it's him? But you're pretty sure it's not... you're pretty sure his hair was lighter than that. You tell yourself that it was.
- You dread to think what those tubes on the walls are for. It's definitely not ventilation. The air seems to feel even more stale than it was before.
- You imagine explaining all this to Amanda. Would she believe you?
  
  "Hallucinations are a rare side-effect of the medication," you can imagine her saying. "But if it wasn't a hallucination, then you should really be telling this to the police." Oh, the rationality of it! You can just hear her saying it.
- You had amnesia, but it didn't last long. And you're still not really sure if you've got all of your memory back. Still, the evidence suggests that you had a very nasty blow to the head. Therefore, what happened was this: some sickos clubbed you, tied you up, gagged you, threw you in this train, and are transporting you to a fate unknown. Perhaps you will be trafficked as a slave... Oh God no. Helen, you know you deserve some pain... but do you really deserve that much? Perhaps the world is just unfair like that. Yeah, that must be it.
[as Helen in dream world: acts like EXAMINE ME.]

Spodgeville Murphy and The Jewelled Eye of Wossname (1999)

Spodgeville Murphy's Thoughts

   Escaping the Cave

Sting of the Wasp (2004)

It's too late for that now; the time for thinking was before you agreed to have sex in the basement!

The Story of Mr. P. (2014)

You think about your life a little.

Stuff of Legend (2020)

You are a village idiot. Thinking is not your strong suit.

Sub Rosa (2015)

You always prefer to reflect on a good book.

Sugarlawn (2019)

It was only a matter of time, really, before someone thought to exploit the escape room craze in the form of reality TV. The addition of game show elements was not surprising in retrospect, either: Solve more puzzles and find more valuables before time runs out, earn more cash.

It's still not entirely clear how the producers managed to secure some of the locations for episodes - Hearst Castle, the Biltmore Estate, Graceland, the White House (!) - but the show's massive popularity over the last five years has surely helped.

Today was your third tryout for Antique Escapes. Mom warned you that dressing as a chicken was too obvious, but apparently host Terri Boz liked the classic game show look. At least there weren't more fowl auditioning for the show, unlike the two other Princess Leias last time.

Regardless, Terri chose you, and now here you are! Time to strut your stuff.

Sunday Afternoon (2012)

 Cogito ergo sum 

 - René Descartes

You are.

Swigian (2017)

Think again.
Clever.
You think of home and snacks.

Taco Fiction (2011)

That has never been your strong suit.

Tea and Toast (2014)

She's absently rolling the koosh in her palm as she reads. Its rubber tendrils slip through her fingers like hair. Like your hair. You can't stop watching.
She read to you from the Elizabeth Bishop book once. Beneath that loved / and celebrated breast. "Don't know why what's beneath is so interesting," she said, "it's...." She moved her hand up to cup you. You never did find out how the poem ended.
Lily is quite understanding about tea bags, really. Sometimes you're just too tired for more than a quick boil and steep. And you've learned that the other kind of tea really can be nicer.
[etc.]

I'd be quoting much of the game if I included all the responses to THINK. But here's the first few, just to give you an idea of how it's using the command. Also, these thoughts will come unbidden while you're performing other actions as well.

The Tempest (1997)

That is not my part! You do misplay me!

Terminator (2015)

You aren't down there on the surface yourself. You have to issue commands to the robots.

Terminator Chaser (2015)

At the forefront of your mind right now is Mercury.

The Terrible Doubt of Appearances (2014)

[if in bedroom:] You would really like to go back to bed, but you [if not first time]still[end if] don't think Athena has such a thing in mind.
[else:] You think about your situation. It's [if first time]certainly looking[else]still[end if] bleak. Adhering to Athena's hints seems the best course of action.

Tethered (2018)

That would be a good first step.
(Try HINT if you are desperate.)

Tex Bonaventure and the Temple of the Water of Life (2013)

No time for thinking! Now is the time for ACTION! ...unless it really is time for thinking. Thinking about what action to take. That's a good thought. But after thinking... ACTION!

Textfire Golf (2001)

That's what you like about golf -- it's a real thinking man's game. Why, Ed over there is probably pondering the intricacies of Hegelian dialectic right now.

The Theta Point (2001)

You have quite a lot to think about.

Also: Jobs for Antioch!.

Threediopolis (2013)

If you were able to do one thing, you're pretty sure you'd know how to get back to Ed Dunn's secret hideout. You just remember it's been hidden.

Tookie's Song (2002)

[Cycle down, repeating the last:]

Ah, one of your favorite activities! You settle in for a good, long, hard think.

Images of loved ones pass through your mind...

The thinking didn't seem to have helped.
You give it another shot. Thinking, thinking, thinking...

Nothing, again.
You ponder. No help.
Normally, it's a good idea, but here, it's just no help.
Although you are a champion thinker, it doesn't seem that this activity is going to do you any good here.

Tower (by Deimel) (2014)

You think, but the conclusion depends on many factors.

Transfer (2000)

A mathematician can think for hours about absolutely nothing.

Twilight in the Garden of Exile (2001)

[first time:]
You promptly run the recent memories through your mind: a hasty return from Sicily with the new play, your calling Sando, Ilya and Meredith, convincing them of the greatness of the act (you can be unnaturally persuasive at times), expounding for hours on what a hit it would make, ordering the arrangements - and collapsing from unbearable fatigue.
These are the thoughts Sando reads in your face. He smiles contentedly: "I am glad you remember it now. However, before we discuss the play itself, let me ask you a question: What is the real reason of your returning? Surely there must be more to that than just a new play - one of many you have written?"
Your face remains as calm and candid as ever: "My friend," you reply, "I am rather disappointed by your lack of faith in my new work's potential. I do believe that it is worth abandoning Sicily for."
Sando offers you a wise smile: "Far from challenging the notion, I cannot envision the possibility of your being unaware of the recent geopolitical developments in the region. Germany and Austria have voiced undisguised threats against our state; some even predict an invasion within days."
He is clearly beginning to suspect something, you realize; if so, your whole plan is under grave threat. Sando is not the one to fool with; it is time to divert his attention from the issue.
You yawn exaggeratedly: "As you know, politics fail to excite me the way they used to. These days, I am much more keen on art for art's sake."
The effect is all you could wish for: Sando's face goes red with rage. "I told you to quit yawning like that - " he growls.
[otherwise:]
A splendid idea.

Ugly Oafs (2014)

Maybe once you get that first point, everything else will get untracked.

You haven't read any markers yet. They might help.
You haven't read any messaged markers yet. They might help.

This response evolves as you progress through the game.

Under They Thunder (2020)

Not much to think about yet. Try going inside for more help materials.

This response changes based on your progress.

Under, In Erebus (2010)

Your thoughts are your own, I assure you. I'm just here to HELP.

Uxmulbrufyuz (2017)

[if in Aphafaja:] You need to acclimate yourself...or something.
[if in Ebekelmenc:] There must be several ways to get rid of things.
[if in Igwivriqi:] Maybe you can accuse things of not being real. Or give them, or yourself, character. Or remember what they are.
[if in Uxmulbrufyuz:] Hmm. Maybe a usual prefix would work here. You could take charge, or make things poweless, or something.

Vague (2009)

You think hard about this location but no thoughts or memories arrive.

Vain Empires (2020)

To calm my nerves, I try to think of something pleasant, like the time

a colleague I particularly disliked got fired (footnote [number]) for misappropriating departmental funds. The amount of money involved was trivial, but it's the principle of the thing. If you're going to be an intelligence officer, you should at least know how to cover up a straightforward embezzlement scheme.
I had an intern in my office try to take over my job. That isn't the pleasant part; the pleasant part is that I had him reaassigned to a post in the middle of an ocean in the mortal realm. Because I'm not completely heartless, I even let him come up for air occasionally.
I had to give a deposition to the Oversight Committee. It wasn't a pleasant experience, and my testimony wasn't even that important, but it showed that I had finally arrived.

Varicella (1999)

You've already come up with your master plan -- now is the time to put it into action!

Ventilator (2016)

If only Steph was here... I shouldn't have yelled at her like that.
Maybe I should turn on that ventilator. Maybe that'll make me feel better...
Your mind wanders upon various topics in succession, but nothing comes of it.
[etc.]

Very Vile Fairy File (2019)

Here's general information you know from your experience so far: WET WOOD. You've got that zig zag rig rag. Maybe there's alliterative rhyming, here. What rhymes with WET WOOD?

You think about more specific challenges you've encountered and not solved, and what you've done and tried, and what you can do.

But you don't have leads for any puzzles right now.

This is the initial response. It changes as you progress through the game.

Vespers (2005)

You find it difficult to concentrate.

Violet (2008)

No. Do.

Voltage Cafe (2015)

Not one of your proudest talks. You thrashed that clown and ended up in anger management. Whatever, at least now they know your name.
Those IF games are what hooked you first. The play with words, the camaraderie, the creativity! Then you discovered the academic side-- how to think about it critically. That's what drew you into the degree program. Was it a mistake?
Yes, you know. You've got a sticker to remind you.
You respect your advisor very much. If only you didn't feel the need to hide from him whenever you haven't been working.... If only you could talk to him without fear of judgement.
You were so inspired by the experimental works of the Oulipo. Those "Exercises in Style" by Queneau blew you away.

Waiting for The End (2013)

Your mind circles back upon itself, unable to unravel The End.

A Walk Through Forever (2001)

[while watchin' TV:] This show isn't funny at all! It's terrible! You can't believe you wasted all this time watching it!
You leap to your feet, and turn off the TV.
In fact... there aren't any TV shows you like. Hell, you might as well get rid of the damn thing now! You'll have twice as much free time! Kick the habit! Reject mind control!
[while reading IF:] A voice from the audience calls out, "THINK!"
"What a good idea."
[else:] No way, not since last time.

Walker & Silhouette (2009)

I intend to enter the Asylum, in case you were in any doubt. The door is traditional for this purpose.
(Talking to Ivy: morning, or trussed.)
[etc.]

The Water Bird (1999)

You'll have to be more specific as to what you want to think about.

The Waterhouse Women (2002)

You take a moment to consider your next move.

Also: The Fire Tower; The Invisible Argonaut.

Wetlands (2011)

You ponder your situation.

Wheel (1999)

It's about time.

When Help Collides (2002)

Lately you've been doing more of that.

Winchester's Nightmare (1999)

So she does, earnestly. Her thought slips away.

Winter Wonderland (1999)

You spend a moment in contemplation.

The Wizard Sniffer (2017)

Being a pig, you are limited in what you can do.

Worlds Apart (1999)

What do you want to think?

Wormwood Days II: The Aftermath (2003)

Certainly.

Zork: A Troll's Eye View (1998)

That's not your strong point.

Zozzled (2019)

You think about [one of] booze [or] the Charleston [or] flagpole sitting [or] feelas [or] goldfish swallowers [or] heavy petting [or] hooch [or] the stock market [at random].

THINK acts like HINT

Word of the Day.

THINK acts like NO-DO

Dead Man's Hill; Hey, I'm Supposed to Be Free Range; Night Driver.

THINK acts like WAIT

Birth of Mind; The Cuckold's Egg; Last Day of Summer; Untold Riches.

Anno 1700; The Call of the Shaman; Six Silver Bullets; Skybreak!; Stone of Wisdom; Treasure Hunt in the Amazon.

THINK default in Inform

What a good idea.

Photograph supports "think about [something]" commands, which are more helpful than a bare "think".
