Walkthrough

Lower Hallway

This is part five of a six-part series; start with Fun and Games.

> x me. i. x body. x Fido. e.

Kitchen

The following sequence is something of a red herring; Fido will still follow you, and still bark when you try to go down, even when he has the steak. However it's still worth giving the steak to keep Fido quiet while you're in the living room.

> x cupboards. x fridge. open it. take steak.

> x steak. give steak to Fido. w.

Lower Hallway

Here's the real answer. Because there's a serious danger of getting caught if Fido barks three times, don't waste any time examining anything in the living room:

> drop body. w.

Living Room

> take book. e.

Lower Hallway

> x book. take body. d.

*** You have won ***

This series concludes with SpeedIF 11, part six.

Extras

Characters

• Fido, the family poodle that hates you, blocks the basement door in Lower Hallway.
• Your dad is sleeping in the lazyboy in the living room. If Fido barks three times, Dad will get up and find the body.

Mentioned:

• Your sister complains in the prologue that you cheated at hopscotch. You can also see her toys on the stairs from the living room.
• Your mother yells a threat at you in the prologue. She'll also call out if she hears the dog barking the first time.

Endings

• You have died if Fido barks one time too many and Dad finds the body. This seems to be three times when you're in either the living room or hallway, whichever comes first. Fido doesn't seem to bark when you're in the kitchen.
• You have won if you carry the body down into the basement.

Inventory

• a Dead Body. You're carrying it. Drop it so you can do what you need to do about Fido, then take the body again and go down from Lower Hallway.
• a steak. It's in the fridge. Give it to Fido, so he won't bark while you're in the living room.
• The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. It's in the bookshelf in the Living Room. Read it in front of Fido to bore him to sleep.

Thank You to my Patreon supporters

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
