Behavior
by William J. Shlaer

Behavior is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 1998 by William J. Shlaer. It was a participant in the ChickenComp event.

You play as a graduate student at Harvard University. You need to complete your thesis on the nocturnal performance of chickens, but because of your own nocturnal performance, you fell asleep in the lab and your test subject is now on the ledge outside the lab window.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
