Key & Compass presents:
What Dreams May Come
by D. Jacob Wildstrom

In this tiny game, you begin as a gopher in a busy maze of cubicles. Co-workers keep giving you envelopes to deliver, but you can never reach your destinations in time. And why is a jester following you around, singing and dancing?

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

*** Your dreams have been shattered ***

Extras

Characters

Several workers in the cubicles keep giving you envelopes and taking them.
A jester follows you in the cubicles, singing and dancing.
Dr. Tran is trying to mimic independent human-like thought in computers. She and a research subject who looks almost exactly like you vanish when you enter her lab.

Inventory

a yellow paper envelope. You're carrying it during your dream in the cubicles. You can try to deliver it or open it, but you'll fail.
a topheavy wire-intensive skullcap. You're wearing this when you wake up. Try to take it off twice to leave your room, but you're still wearing it.
a CD-R. It's on the desk in Dr. Tran's lab. You can opt to either break it or put it in the box.
