Post-Christmas Letdown
by E. Joyce

Post-Christmas Letdown is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2011 by E. Joyce. This game was a participant in The penultimate not numbered New Year's Speed IF event.

In this small silly game, it's December 26th and you play as a homeowner with a headache who needs to get ready for work at the call center. Unfortunately, you have some unwanted visitors, like the Mouse King who's blocking your closet.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
