The robocop_is_bleeding scenario
by Deathalicious

The robocop_is_bleeding scenario is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2009 by Deathalicious. I believe it was an example game written for, but not an entry for, the 1st Annual MetaFilter Interactive Fiction Contest, aka MetaFilter Comp 2009.

In this tiny surreal game that was written as a sample game, you play as someone in a scary room with a golden idol, a pedestal, a ruby, a cow, and a chicken. Let's assume you want to leave the scary room.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 7 of the game.

Score

You have so far scored your-score out of a possible 0, in some turns.

The scoring seems to be a bit of joke and meaningless in this game, in my opinion.
