"Solitude" by carrotcake When play begins: say "[bold type][italic type]Author's Note: [roman type][italic type]This is NOT a finished story yet; I'm still experimenting and I just published this to show some of my friends. But feel free to try it out yourself too![line break][line break]A few tips:[line break]Type 'x' or 'examine' to check out objects.[line break]Type 'open' and 'close' to interact with containers.[line break]Type 'turn on' or 'switch on' to interact with devices.[line break]Type 'take' to bring objects with you.[line break][line break][roman type]" The bedroom is a room.

After switching off the radio: say "Oh well, you don't feel like listening to that song right now." The description of the study desk is "The study desk is made of sturdy wood. Scattered all over it are textbooks, a sketchpad and some paintbrushes." Instead of taking the study desk: say "Uh, that's not the brightest idea." The description of textbooks is "Your books from school are filled with highlighted pages." Instead of examining sketchpad: say "The sketchpad is on the middle of the desk.

The description of the journal is "You've gotten yourself a journal about a year ago. Lately you've found yourself spending more time writing on it than actually talking to people.[line break]A lock is fixed on its side." After unlocking journal with key: increase the score by 1; say "You unlock the journal. The first page reads[line break][line break][italic type]May 26, 2016[line break]Guess what? I've got a brand new journal today![roman type]"; say "[line break][line break]Turn the page?"; if the player consents: say "[line break]The rest of the pages are missing."; otherwise: say "Perhaps it's better not to dig up the past."
