Map

Walkthrough

This game was released with the debug flag still set, so it's easy to use a TREE command to show how little is actually implemented in this game/story.

Bedroom

> w.

dresser

> x wallet. x gun. x blue-key. (Nothing special about any of them.)

> take all. e. n. w. s.

Table

> x note. (Fritz says the toxin has spread; survivors deep in forest and need food and supplies.)

> n. n.

Front Door

Zombies swarm in and kill you. "The game ends." Except no, this is just coded as a dead end, ha ha.

> s. e. e.

bathroom

> x trapdoor. n. (locked)

> unlock trapdoor with blue-key. n.

The Underground room

> close trapdoor. lock it with blue-key.

> n. (Hm. That doorway wasn't implemented.)

> e.

Forest

There is no actual ladder; the suggested command to climb the ladder does not work.

> e. (Hm. Can't go that way either.)

> n.

Cliff top

Nothing to do here. But there's also nowhere else to go.

> quit.

Extras

Characters

• Zombies are waiting to kill you outside your front door. Maybe find another way out?

Mentioned:

• Fritz is a friend of yours. He somehow left a note on your living room table, to tell you about the zombie outbreak and the need for food and supplies, but couldn't quite be bothered to wake you up in your bedroom to tell you personally and work together with you.
• Survivors are hiding deep in the forest, but they need food and supplies.

Endings

There aren't any.

Well, sorta. If you go to your front door, zombies kill you and the game says "The game ends", but it doesn't enforce that. You can continue playing regardless of your "death".

There is definitely no winning ending in Release 1. You just play until you quit.

Inventory

• a wallet. It's in the dresser on the west side of your bedroom. Take it, but you do nothing with it.
• a Gun. It's in the dresser on the west side of your bedroom. Take it, but you do nothing with it.
• a blue-key. It's in the dresser on the west side of your bedroom. It unlocks (and locks) the trapdoor between your bathroom and the underground room.
• a note. It's on the table on the south side of your living room. Read it to learn a smidge of what the plot of this game was supposed to be.
