Key & Compass presents:
Tears Keep Getting In My Dr. Pepper
by Marnie Parker

You play as Mindy, a cute high-school cheer leader. Last night, your lover told you he was leaving you. Not thinking clearly, you chased after him, cried all night, and fell asleep in this tanker's lifeboat. You're still bummed, but you're all cried out now. Maybe. Now what?

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

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
