Walkthrough

Building

Note that the magic word "ennuiflipper" will flip your sense of ennui if you use it more than once. You cannot talk to the man named Spring if you are either scared of him or overwhelmed by ennui.

Extras

Characters

• A large man is in the Building; his name is Spring.
• A frontier psychiatrist is in the Office.

Inventory

• a lamp. You're carrying it. Turn it on so you can see in the caves.
• a priceless jade idol. It's in the Pit. It's a treasure. Drop it in the Building.
• a dull metal coin. It's in the Canyon. Give the coin to the psychiatrist; now you can talk to him.
• a tasty apricot. It's summoned by saying the magic word PHUGGG, which you learned by talking to the psychiatrist. Eat the apricot for courage.
• a nuggest of osmium. It's in the Alcove. It's a treasure. Drop it in the Building.

Score

In a total of some turns, you have achieved a score of your-score points out of a possible 21.

• 1 point for talking to the large man named Spring.
• 10 points for dropping the jade idol in the Building.
• 10 points for dropping the nugget of osmium in the Building.

CAUTION: A bug in the game will award you a point every time you successfully talk to Spring. And because the game's ending is only seen when you have exactly 21 points, it's possible to never be able to end the game properly because you have too many points!

Thank You to my Patreon supporters

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
