Cranial Pounding is a TADS 2 interactive fiction game and is © 2004 by Anonymous. It was a participant in the Speed-IF >= 20 event.
In this very short game where adjectives are used as nouns, you play as someone who accidentally swallowed a truth serum pill instead of a pain relief pill. You need to expel it before your interrogator arrives.
This solution is by David Welbourn.
SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of an interactive fiction game. Please make an honest effort to play the game before reading this walkthrough.
