Key & Compass presents:
The man-eating, halitosic gorilla of Brazil
by Marius Müller

The man-eating, halitosic gorilla of Brazil is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Adventure Book for Inform 7 and is © 2011 by Marius Müller (writing as Leaner Gilts, "Strangle" Lei, Gain Tellers and Slat Leering). It was an entry in the Speed-IF Jacket 4 event.

You play as AFGNCAAP, a secret agent sent into the Brazilian jungle to find a new mastermind and his secret temple. Too bad he finds you first.

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.


Walkthrough

Attempt 1

(interrogation room)

Because this is an Adventure Book game, this will be a choice-based game.

> 1 (Continue)

You wake. The gorilla asks "What were you doing here?"

> 1. (Claim to be a botanist.)

You tell a tall tale up to "I saw a sleeping tiger!"

> 1. (Sneak up: Gorilla doesn't believe you.)

Gorilla thinks you're AFGNCAAP. "Am I right?"

> 3. (Gorilla tells his story but re-asks his question.)

> 2. ("No. See, this is CYOA.")

Gorilla puts out three IF-ish items and releases you.

> 1or2or3. (GET ALL)

He ties you up again, then lifts his rocket launcher!

> 1. (Maybe you've grown to forgive your mom?)

*** You have died. ***

> 1. (See the jacket quotes from which the game was based on.)
