Key & Compass presents:
Eight Miles High
by Josh Giesbrecht

Eight Miles High is a Glulx interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2014 by Josh Giesbrecht (as "Lambert Lambert"). It was a participant in the first ShuffleComp event.

In this short choice-based game inspired by a song lyric, you play as someone who arrives at an airport, then takes a limo to some street. You're not sure where you are and it's hard to focus in all this rain.

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.
