"The Grand Tour" by Daniel Gunnell

The release number is 1. The story creation year is 2019. The story headline is "A short I7 demonstration". The story genre is "Science Fiction". The story description is "A small example of how to write interactive fiction with Inform 7".

When play begins: say "The intercom crackles to life. 'This is your captain speaking. We're jumping to hyperspace shortly, so for your protection, we've locked all stateroom doors. As soon as we've safely jumped, your doors will open and you will be free to move about the ship.'"

The Stateroom is a room. "Staterooms aboard a spaceship, even one as luxurious as the Thaleia, are tight, cramped affairs, and this one is no exception. There is barely enough room for you and the furniture. The door to the hallway is locked tight for now. East is your bathroom." The leaflet is in the Stateroom. The description is "It goes on and on about how wonderful the Thaleia is. Should you have trouble sleeping later, reading this could help." The bed is in the Stateroom. The bed is an enterable supporter in the Stateroom. Understand "furniture" as the bed.

The Bathroom is east of the Stateroom. The description is "Like your stateroom in smallness, only moreso. There is a mirror on one wall." The mirror is scenery in the Bathroom. The description is "You look tired after your long shuttle flight to the Thaleia." The shower is here. It is fixed in place. "Opposite the mirror is the shower, which is closed." The description of the shower is "When it's open, you get in it to take a shower. Right now it's closed, keeping you from using it." Instead of opening or entering the shower, say "It is locked down until after the ship makes its jump to hyperspace." The hallway door is scenery in the Stateroom. Instead of opening or entering the hallway door, say "The captain has locked all stateroom doors in preparation for jumping to hyperspace." Robutler is a man in the Stateroom. "Robutler stands attentive to your needs." The description of Robutler is "Robutler has four arms, treads, and a shiny metal body." Understand "robot" and "butler" as Robutler. Every turn:
if Robutler is not visible begin;
say "Robutler rattles into the room, following you.";
end if. At 9:10 AM: say "You realize that you are becoming exhausted." At 9:20 AM: say "Your exhaustion is threatening to send you crashing to the floor, unable to move." At 9:25 AM: say "You are about to drop dead of exhaustion. You really should get in bed." At 9:27 AM:
say "You stumble to your knees and then collapse on the floor, quite surprised to find that the phrase 'drop dead of exhaustion' can be literally true.";
end the game in death. Instead of entering the bed:
say "You climb into the bed, exhaustion overtaking you. You are asleep before you can order Robutler to undress you.";
end the game in victory.
