KHV Plays Text Adventures

You swallow the tablet. After a few seconds the room begins to calm down and behave in an orderly manner. Your terrible headache goes.

 

~Walk away from the window~

 

That's easy for you to say since you don't even have the window.

 

You rush down the stairs in panic.

Front Porch
This is the enclosed front porch of your home. Your front garden lies to the south, and you can re-enter your home to the north.
On the doormat is a pile of junk mail.

 

Front of House
You can enter your home to the north. A path leads around it to the northeast and northwest, and a country lane is visible to the south. All that lies between your home and the huge yellow bulldozer bearing down on it is a few yards of mud.

Mr. Prosser, from the local council, is standing on the other side of the bulldozer. He seems to be wearing a digital watch. He looks startled to see you emerge, and yells at you to get out of the way.
The bulldozer rumbles slowly toward your home.

[At this point, you can use the "say" command. Just use {say to person you're addressing "Thing you want to say."} The brackets are not necessary. You can also use general speaking commands like "Protest" and such without needing the "say" syntax. This applies for the rest of the game as well. Just use your own discretion.]

 

If memory serves, we needed that mail. Plus as a rule of thumb on these game, if they bother to mention it we probably need it. Also, I do not miss the syntax trial and error in these things.

Go North.

 

[It occurs to me that I probably should have linked to this before the game started.]

The bulldozer, which you may have noticed outside, just pushed your home down on top of you.

**** You have died ****

I was afraid of that, but I don't think there is a chance later. Actually there might be. Whatever, its done.

Ok.

[As before]
>look around
Bedroom
The bedroom is a mess.
It is a small bedroom with a faded carpet and old wallpaper. There is a washbasin, a chair, and a window with the curtains drawn. Near the exit leading south is a phone.
There is a flathead screwdriver here.
There is a toothbrush here.

>look in pocket
Opening your gown reveals a thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is, a buffered analgesic, and pocket fluff.

>inventory
You have:
a splitting headache
no tea
your gown (being worn)
It looks like your gown contains:
a thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is
a buffered analgesic
pocket fluff

 

You miss the doorway by a good eighteen inches. The wall jostles you rather rudely.

 

You swallow the tablet. After a few seconds the room begins to calm down and behave in an orderly manner. Your terrible headache goes.

 

[Who needs dental hygiene or analog tools, amirite?]
Front Porch
This is the enclosed front porch of your home. Your front garden lies to the south, and you can re-enter your home to the north.
On the doormat is a pile of junk mail.

 

~Pick up junk mail~

 

You gather up the pile of mail.

Astoundingly, a bulldozer pokes through your wall. However, you have no time for surprise because the ceiling is collapsing on you as your home is unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new bypass. You are seriously injured in the process, but on your way to the hospital a fleet of Vogon Constructor ships unexpectedly arrives and demolishes the Earth to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.

Better luck next life.

[It's a time sensitive puzzle. If you take too many turns to get outside and stop the bulldozer, you'll die horribly. There is another death scene that you can get if you die outside, though, so you may as well get that if you're going for 100% completion.]
