Curtains in Interactive Fiction

• Alcohol solves everything (2007)

  > x drapes (@ The Lounge)

  One of the drapes depicts four men in a circle, their arms locked, providing support to something not visible in the sign. Four smaller circles are drawn around them, each depicting three men at a similar stance. A second drape is hung over the south-east corner, hugging the slanted ceiling. It depicts the sun and moon, both portrayed in shades of grey, enclosed in a circle at the centre of the image. Black stars shine in the periphery. A third drape, a chaotic blend of colours, covers the wall behind the drinks cabinet.
