In this small game, you play as a young kid who's been afraid of the monster under your bed for seven years. But now your baby brother Danny and his crib have been moved into your room, and he's now the monster's new target. Tonight, you plan to kill the monster.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
Note: The game begins at 7:30 pm. You have until midnight before the monster arrives, so there's plenty of time to examine things and make preparations.
Your Bedroom
> x Danny. x sword. x duck.
> x under the bed. x closet.
> push crib.(Donald approves.)
Feel free to ask Donald about some topics, for example:
> ask Donald about Danny. ask Donald about monster.
> ask Donald about closet. ask Donald about sword.
> ask Donald about mom.
But enough of that. Let's move on:
> take sword.(Danny won't let go.)
> give Donald to Danny. take sword.
> sw.
Hallway
> open closet. take sheet. close closet.
> s.(can't: you'd be grounded)
> nw.
Laundry Room
> x washer. x dryer. x tub.
> x blacklight. x detergent.
> take all from shelves.
> se. ne.
Your Bedroom
> put detergent on sword. turn on blacklight.
> x sword.(It now glows in the dark!)
> x sheet. put sheet under bed.(to prevent the monster escaping that way)
> turn off blacklight.
For the trap to work, the room must be dark when the monster enters the room.
> wait. wait.(It's now midnight.)
> look.(The monster arrives. Ick.)
> turn on blacklight.(The monster panics.)
> kill monster.(It fails to escape via the closet.)
> kill monster. again.

Characters
Danny is your baby brother. He and his crib are now in your room, and even though he's a pain, you want to save Danny from the monster under your bed.
Donald Duck is a toy duck on your bed. Although you know it's truly an inaminate object, you also know Donald is your friend. You can talk to him and he can talk to you.
A monster lives under your bed. It has teeth, claws, and red eyes. It's pretty gross. It also hates light. It'll arrive at midnight and attack your brother Danny if you don't do something.
Mom and Dad are in the living room watching TV. They don't believe in the monster. They'll enter the room during the Hero ending.
Mentioned:
Uncle Pat gave you the sword last year.
Doctors save Danny's life in the Bloody Baby ending.

Inventory
Donald Duck. He's on your bed.
Firstly, Donald is your hint system. You can ask him about various topics or show things to him for helpful comments.
Secondly, give Donald to Danny so he'll drop the sword. You can actually give anything to Danny, but only Donald is safe to give and not needed elsewhere.
a wooden sword. Danny is holding it.
Give Donald to Danny to get him to drop the sword.
Put the detergent on the sword so it will glow in the dark when the blacklight is on.
When the monster is trapped in the room and the sword is glowing, hit the monster repeatedly with the sword until it's dead.
a sheet. It's in the hallway closet.
The sheet will glow in the dark when the blacklight is on. Put the sheet under your bed. While the sheet is glowing, the monster can't get past it, neither emerging from under the bed nor escaping by going under the bed.
a blacklight. It's on the shelves in the laundry room.
When turned on, it will make white and yellow items glow in the dark. These would be Danny's shirt, the sheet, and the sword after it's been dipped in laundry detergent.
Do NOT give the blacklight to Danny. He might bite through the bulb and have to go to the hospital!
For the best ending, do not turn on the blacklight until the monster is fully in the bedroom. If you've laid your trap completely, the monster will be trapped and you'll have a glowing sword that will be able to kill it.
laundry detergent. It's on the shelves in the laundry room.
Do NOT give the detergent to Danny. He might drink it and die!
Put some detergent on the sword. The sword will now glow in the dark when the blacklight is on.
