What Dreams May Come
by D. Jacob Wildstrom

What Dreams May Come is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Infrom 6 and is © 2003 by D. Jacob Wildstrom. It was a participant in the Speed-IF Jacket 2 event.

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.
