Don't Push The Mailbox is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2019 by Ralfe Rich.
In this very short joke game, you play as a homeowner. It's a beautiful day for working outside, but you're disturbed by the presence of what looks like a mailbox at the foot of your front lawn. What will you do about it?
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
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.
