Looking for Godot
by Patrick Shaughnessy

Looking for Godot is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 5 and is © 1996 by Patrick Shaughnessy.

In this small whimsical game, you're searching your home for a copy of Waiting for Godot to return to your English teacher. It's not on the porch; you only found a rotting fish there. Now where could that book be?

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.
