Key & Compass presents:
The Dream-Trap of Zzar
by S. John Ross

In this lightly-erotic tale, you play as Captain Galactic, science hero. Professor Zzar has just used evil technology to put you into a Level IX Subconscious Psychic Comatose Preservation State! How will you escape his dream trap? And what's with all these monkeys?

Note: This work is intended for mature audiences only.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 0 of the game.

Walkthrough

Science Station Alpha

The names of the monkeys are randomized, and since they're not actually necessary to solving the game, I'm going to ignore them in this walkthrough. But feel free to interact with them all you want.

Score

In this game, your score is prefaced with "E.C." in the status bar; this stands for "erotic content" according to the Omega Document.

In that game, you scored your-score out of a possible 100, in several turns.

5 points for trying to masturbate with monkeys watching.
1 point for examining the bay door in the tank bay.
10 points for examining the megatank.
10 points for reading the magazine. (Repeatable!)
10 points for riding the tank around the moon.
5 points for pushing the computer's button the first time.
1 point for pushing the computer's button again. (Repeatable!)
10 points for examining Carolyn.
10 points for examining Carolyn's skirt the first time.
1 point for examining Carolyn's skirt again. (Repeatable!)
1 point for trying to touch or lift Carolyn's skirt. (Repeatable!)
5 points for trying to kiss Carolyn the first time.
1 point for trying to kiss Carolyn again. (Repeatable!)
5 points for trying to screw Carolyn the first time.
1 point for trying to screw Carolyn again. (Repeatable!)
15 points for almost touching or lifting Carolyn's skirt. (Must have at least 65 points first.)
The rest of the points (up to 20) for actually lifting Carolyn's skirt. (Must have at least 80 points first.)

Note that most scorable actions can only raise your E.C. up to 99 and no further. You must lift Carolyn's skirt in order to finally reach 100 and win the game.

Disclaimer: AIF walkthroughs are not part of my Patreon

As you may know from looking at other walkthroughs on this site, I have a Patreon account where I ask my patrons to help support me financially in my efforts in crafting verbose walkthroughs for works of interactive fiction. However, this walkthrough is free because I will not charge for walkthroughs based on adult IF. I suspect most of my patrons do not want their names associated with adult IF in any way, so AIF walkthroughs just won't ever be part of my Patreon. I still want to write the occasional AIF walkthrough, like this one, though, so I felt I needed a disclaimer here.
