Chimneys in Interactive Fiction

• An Abbreviated Night Before Christmas (2006)

  > x chimney (@ House)

  Just an ordinary chimney. Santa comes down it once every year. It also gets cleaned once every year. Coincidence?

• According to Cain (2022)

  > x chimney (@ Magma pool)

  A short narrow tube like a chimney extends from the top of the forge.

  Along with providing a way for the exhaust to escape from the forge when it’s hot, you reckon it might also be used to drop bits of metal into the forge when it’s hot.

  Alchemist's Gold (2022)

  > x chimney (@ Roof of House)

  It's a stone chimney with a wide opening. It looks like a tight squeeze, but you could probably climb down. If you do, it might be an idea to save the game first, just in case.

• 

  Augmented Fourth (2000)

  > x chimney (@ Butler's Cottage)

  • You peer up the chimney to find that the shaft is obstructed by a mass of wet leaves and twigs. The blockage is high enough up the chimney that you cannot clear it from here.
  • You peer up the chimney into the Bear's Den but see nothing untoward.

  > x chimney (@ Bear's Den)

  A sooty stone chimney descends into the ground here. It may have been the vent for a fireplace before the bear made its bed over top of it.

• A Bet's a Bet (2004)

  > x chimney (@ North side of roof)

  It's half buried in the snow.

  > x chimney (@ South side of roof)

  It stands about chin high and is rather uninviting. A bet is a bet, though.

  Cragne Manor (2018)

  > x chimneys (@ Outside the Plant)

  In certain tarot decks, there is a card with a corpse on the ground, many swords stuck upright in its back. Chimneystacks are not, perhaps, unlike swords. Buildings are not unlike bodies. But whatever the card was meant to represent, you suspect it wasn't a meatpacking plant.
