| The Family Cabin |
by Roger Carbol
The Family Cabin
The game doesn't know "wake" or "kiss". You cannot get on the bed.
>x bed. x susan. n.
Outside the Family Cabin
The room description is the only hint of the premise that you get. You cannot examine the cabin, the lake, nor the mountain. It's never explicitly suggested that the mountain might be the only place to get snow for the snowman from, or that you want to get to the mountain.
>n
The Dock
You cannot "swim" or "fish". You cannot examine the lake or water. Granny isn't mentioned until you examine the boat.
