> x TV (@ Lounge)
On the screen is the dim image of a sad battery. You must have left it on while you were sleeping! Now it'll need a few days to recharge. Darn.
Another Goddamn Escape the Locked Room Game (2006)

Bio (2003)

The Bryant Collection (2009)
> x television (@ Family Room)
This television looks huge sitting in this room. The one you remember was quite a few inches smaller. That one, in turn, replaced an even older one with bent rabbit ear antennas and barely-capable color. This one is fancier than the TV you have at home.
Cacophony (2009)
> x real television (@ Real Kitchen)
You brought it in here so you can watch as you eat. Unfortunately, it stopped working recently, and you're not sure why.
> x television (@ TV Room)

As you shake yourself out of the trance, you wonder what you were watching.

Clusterflux (2019)
> x small flatscreen television (@ Simple Living Room)
It's not huge but it is flatscreen, at least, and it's quite easy to cast your laptop to it for movie-time or just to watch your various YouTube vids from your various online amateur sleuth cohorts. The remote control for this tv is probably around somewhere.
> x cracked television (@ Smoky Living Room)
It's a nice sized, widescreen tv. Unfortunately, there is a significant crack over one of the lower corners.
The Coast House (2001)
> x television (@ Den)
The evenings from your childhood summers that didn't take place sitting on the porch took place watching this television. As the nearest broadcasting station was 60 miles away station the images were usually just scratchy ghosts. The TV has long gone silent and can now basically be considered merely a bulky paperweight with fake wooden paneling.
Cragne Manor (2018)
> x TV (@ Church Basement)
It's a 29-inch model, perhaps even bigger. It has all the features of a TV and a VCR, including a four-digit counter that tells you where you are on a tape. A single power button controls the whole thing, and the counter has a reset pin you can push. With a tape in, you can PLAY, EJECT, REWIND, or FAST-FORWARD TO (FF TO) a specific spot.

No matter how often the repairman calls it a 'feature', you know there is something wrong with the set, since it automatically switches channels when it is on.
Fantastic Finale IV (2009)
> x TV (@ In front of the TV)
Just a normal tube TV, on top of a plain, wooden stand. You're holding the controller to an outdated videogame console, which must be in the entertainment stand. The cord's in the gap between the stand's double doors. And supposedly playing this game, displayed on the screen. Fantastic Finale IV.

Apparently he was watching a crime drama when you came calling. Now he'll never know who the murderer was.
Ironic, that.

Riverside (2008)

This TV is used almost exclusively for watching late-night television.
