Walkthrough

Mysterious Room

Step 0: Examine everything that's visible. Examining is a free action; examining things doesn't waste any time.

> x timer. (11 turns left)

> i. (nothing)

> x cord. x desk. (has top and bottom drawers)

> x top drawer. x bottom drawer.

> x panel. (Six buttons with different engraved shapes.)

> x wardrobe. x lock.

> x door. (No obvious way of opening it or knowing where it leads to.)

> x couch. x cushions. x ladder.

Step 1: Disable the timer.

> open bottom drawer. x knife. take knife.

> unfold ladder. (You can now reach the timer without explicitly climbing the ladder.)

> cut cord. (The timer display fades.)

Step 2: Find more stuff and open the wardrobe. You don't need the junk, gum, or coins.

> open top drawer. x junk. x old gum.

> take cushions. x coins. x paperclips.

> take paperclips.

> unlock lock with paperclip.

> open wardrobe.

Step 3: Use the control panel.

> x jacket. wear it.

> x wristband. wear it.

> push triangle. push square. push pentagon.

The nice smell means you did it correctly. A glass container on a metal platform comes out of a wall panel.

Step 4: Get the device and use it.

> x glass. (It's a cube, closed, has an eye, and contains a device.)

> x eye. (It flinches?)

> x platform. x device. (a one-button remote)

> stare at eye. g. (The eye closes; the glass opens.)

> take device.

> push red button.

Your wristband vibrates, glows, and you're back home, victorious.

Inventory

In the order found in this walkthrough:

• Take the cushions to reveal coins and two paperclips underneath.
• a knife. It's in the desk's bottom drawer.
• When the ladder is unfolded, cut the cord (with the knife) to stop the timer.
• some coins. Find them by taking the cushions.
• You don't need any coins.
• two paperclips. Find them by taking the cushions.
• Unlock the lock (of the wardrobe) with a paperclip.
• some junk. It's in the desk's top drawer.
• You don't need any junk.
• a winter jacket. It's inside the wardrobe.
• You don't need the jacket, but take it. This is the closest thing to a prize for winning that you're gonna get.
• an alien wristband. It's inside the wardrobe.
• Wear it and examine it. Push the buttons (of the control panel) corresponding to the symbols on the wristband, from innermost to outermost.
• an alien handheld device. It's inside a glass container that enters the room when you push the buttons corresponding to the symbols on the wristband, from innermost to outermost.
• To open the glass container, you must stare at its eye twice to put it to sleep. When the eye closes, the glass container opens.
• While wearing the wristband, push the red button (of the device) to get transported back home and win the game.
