Laundry machines in Interactive Fiction

• 

  Arborea (2022)

  > x washer (@ Processing Plant)

  It's not surprising that washing is part of the process somehow. The washer is quite easy to operate and, by way of shorthand, will do so automatically if you place something into it and close the door.

• A Good Breakfast (1997)

  > x washing machine (@ Utility room)

  As with most non-computer-related electrical items in your house, the washing machine is hopelessly out of date. The front panel comprises a single light and a red button, which pokes out from the panel's surface. The light is blinking rapidly, signifying that the washing machine has broken yet again.

  The tumble dryer is an old, battered thing, and a broken one at that. The fact that the door's missing is a dead giveaway. One of these days, you'll get round to buying a new one, but until then, you'll have to make do with drying your clothes outside.

• Martha's Big Date (2008)

  > x washer (@ Laundry Room)

  It's a standard front-loading washer, well suited to a family of five. As you gaze upon the washing machine, strains of The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah fill your ears. The chorus stops abruptly as you realize that the shortest washing cycle takes 45 minutes, which is more time than you have right now. You'd probably be better off washing your dress by hand.

  The dryer is looking a little worse for wear. It hasn't been completely functional since “the incident”, so your mother sometimes has to take the laundry to the laundromat to use the dryers. Sometimes she asks you or your sister to go. It's annoying, since you almost always have to fend off people who try to steal the spandex.
