| DavidW says, "I was wondering about The Colour Pink recently." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I don't have a preference right now." | ||
| DavidW says, "If we weren't doing ClubFloyd, I'd probably fire up The Colour Pink and see if I liked it." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I have no objection, if it's Floydable. Let me go look." | ||
| DavidW says, "I think it's a Z-machine one, but by an ADRIFT author." | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of DW), "2005, by Robert Street?" | ||
| DavidW says, "yeah." | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't even remember what the game's about." | ||
| DavidW says, "I vaguely remember playing it partway but never finishing it." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It says it's a space exploration game." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask colourpink" | ||
Floyd ] Southeast corner of ruins Score: 0 Moves: 0 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | You are on an abandoned planet again. Not content with almost killing Floyd | you the last time, the Captain has delegated you again to investigate Floyd | another out-of-contact colony. Apparently you impressed him with your Floyd | survival instincts, by evading thousands of insect-like creatures Floyd | before the ship finally sent down enough people to wipe them out. Floyd | Maybe your job description should just be renamed as the Expendable Floyd | Explorer. Unfortunately, you have no choice but to obey the Captain's Floyd | orders. Floyd | Floyd | An hour ago you were sent down into a thick jungle. When you made Floyd | contact with the ship you found out that they had missed the clearing Floyd | where you were supposed to land. The intervening hour was spent Floyd | cutting through the energetic plant-life until you finally reached Floyd | your destination. Floyd | Floyd | It is time to start your investigation. One strange fact that you have Floyd | already noticed is that there was no sign of any animals in the Floyd | jungle. Floyd | Floyd | Southeast corner of ruins Floyd | This clearing used to be the site of a house, where a team of Floyd | scientists, who were studying the planet, lived. This is no longer the Floyd | case, as the house has burned down. The fire is probably the reason Floyd | for the colony being out of contact, but you are not sure it is the Floyd | whole reason, as something does not feel right here. The ashes from Floyd | the house cover the ground, along with various twisted metal pieces. Floyd | Weeds are popping up everywhere, as the jungle reclaims the area. The Floyd | clearing, and ruins, continues to the north and west. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "No animals? Bad, bad sign." | |

Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I see nothing of interest here. I suggest West or North or explore our inventory more." | |

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Northeast corner of ruins Score: 0 Moves: 18 Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Northeast corner of ruins Floyd | The ashes from the house only cover a small segment of this corner. Floyd | Weeds and dirt patches cover most of the ground instead, with what Floyd | looks like the remains of a garden. There is nothing left to tell what Floyd | was growing here before the fire, as any crops have completely Floyd | disappeared. Maybe the scientists were not very good gardeners, and Floyd | there were no crops. However, you think that this is unlikely, as the Floyd | crops they use on new colonies are virtually unkillable. The clearing, Floyd | and ruins, continues to the south and west. Floyd | Floyd | An abandoned metal table on wheels in the garden looks in poor Floyd | condition, but still useable. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x table" | ||
Floyd ] Northeast corner of ruins Score: 0 Moves: 19 Floyd | Floyd | > X TABLE Floyd | Floyd | This metal table is not in good condition, as the top looks heavily Floyd | dented and one of the wheels is missing. However, it has survived far Floyd | more intact than anything else. It even looks like it can still be Floyd | pushed around. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Might be helpful in getting up higher somewhere." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Sounds like a plantpocalypse." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah." | ||

Floyd ] Northwest corner of ruins Score: 0 Moves: 24 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Northwest corner of ruins Floyd | A large tree dominates this section of the clearing, with a low Floyd | hanging, yet out of reach, branch above where the house used to be. It Floyd | would have been just above the roof of a one-storey section of the Floyd | house. However, it is now only above ashes. This tree must be tough Floyd | and strong to have survived the chemical process used to create a Floyd | clearing. The chemicals are supposed to clear everything in Floyd | preparation for the houses and gardens of any colonists. The clearing, Floyd | and ruins, continues to the south and east. Floyd | Floyd | On the branch you see a nest. This is the first sign of any animal Floyd | life that you have seen. You wonder if it is empty like everywhere Floyd | else. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x nest" | ||
Floyd ] Northwest corner of ruins Score: 0 Moves: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > X NEST Floyd | Floyd | There must have been a bird here at some stage, but not anymore. It is Floyd | at least a sign of animal life and maybe the nest is not empty. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Northwest corner of ruins Score: 2 Moves: 41 Floyd | Floyd | > HIT NEST WITH SHOVEL Floyd | Floyd | You push the nest off the branch with the shovel. It quickly falls Floyd | down and smashes onto the ground. You get off the table and look Floyd | inside the remains to find a pink egg, which you take. As you look at Floyd | the egg, for some reason, you feel an overwhelming hunger coming over Floyd | you. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by two points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Southwest corner of ruins Score: 2 Moves: 43 Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Southwest corner of ruins Floyd | The ruins continue in this corner of the clearing. A puddle of leaking Floyd | water has formed in a hole. It is probably where the water storage for Floyd | the kitchen and bathroom was located. It has been policy for water to Floyd | be brought in from off-planet, since an unfortunate incident with an Floyd | alien species that mainly consisted of water. The wetness of the area Floyd | seems to have protected the wood a little better here than in the Floyd | other corners, with a few portions lying on the ground. The clearing, Floyd | and ruins, continues to the north and east. Floyd | Floyd | In the remains you see a surprisingly whole piece of wood. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x wood" | ||
Floyd ] Southwest corner of ruins Score: 2 Moves: 44 Floyd | Floyd | > X WOOD Floyd | Floyd | (the piece of wood) Floyd | This piece of wood is damp, but it has a decent size and weight behind Floyd | it. It is several feet long and almost looks like a shelf. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

However, the Floyd | last entry, which is dated several weeks ago, is different: Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | ...I don't know why, but the world has suddenly become crazy. Floyd | Everything was fine yesterday (apart from my usual complaint that with Floyd | the increasing periods of absence for James, I have been forced away Floyd | from my studies too much). However, today everyone and everything Floyd | seems to have gone insane. At the moment I am hiding in the jungle Floyd | away from the madness. I think I will go back soon though. No, I Floyd | won't. Maybe. The only thing stopping me is this writing. I have to Floyd | keep writing to stop the temptation. The need. No, it is not a need. I Floyd | am stronger than this. Maybe if I write what I know, then it will Floyd | satisfy the craving. Maybe I shouldn't though, as I need to forget. Floyd | No, I can't forget or think of anything else. I need to figure out Floyd | what is going on. Floyd | Floyd | What I know, my diary, is that it all started this morning. It started Floyd | with Jane. She has been acting strangely in recent days, almost Floyd | paranoid whenever anyone approaches her. I have been avoiding the Floyd | issue, as this is not my specialty. If James had been there, he would Floyd | have known what to do. He is always good with the psychological Floyd | aspects. He couldn't have helped this morning. I have never seen Floyd | anything like it before. Jane was coloured bright pink. Yes, bright Floyd | pink. Maybe she was infected with some local disease. I don't know. It Floyd | seems likely though, as I cannot think of any other explanation. She Floyd | looked strange, but she looked beautiful, irresistible even. She has Floyd | always been attractive, but even more so today. Right now, I can't Floyd | explain how this is true. I only know that it is. She seemed in a Floyd | daze, mumbling something about how the "PSYCHE" was the key. The key Floyd | to what, I don't know. Floyd | Floyd | What happened next? I was walking over to treat her condition. Yes, Floyd | treat her condition. That's why, I think. Anyway, one of the junior Floyd | scientists, Simon, reached her first. He kissed her. He actually Floyd | kissed her. And she did not just slap and reject him. I don't Floyd | understand. Why wasn't it me? I saw Simon change before my eyes. There Floyd | were ripples in the air, almost like the air was as thick as water. Floyd | But it isn't. But it was. Simon turned pink as well. I saw ecstasy in Floyd | his eyes. Or was it just a love of life. I don't know. I didn't stay. Floyd | I'm ashamed to say that I ran. I shouldn't be too ashamed though, as Floyd | it is the only reason I am here. Floyd | Floyd | I admit that I have gone back once. I saw everyone standing in a Floyd | circle holding hands. They were all pink. All of them except me. And Floyd | maybe James. I didn't see him there. They then just disappeared. They Floyd | vanished and I don't know where. I noticed that the house was burning. Floyd | Someone must have left something on. It was too late. It is still too Floyd | late. Everyone is gone, and the pinkness has not disappeared. I Floyd | noticed in the garden that the fruit had gone pink as well. There were Floyd | pink native flies, which have blighted our crops, but now it did not Floyd | seem to matter. Animals were moving in from all directions to eat. I Floyd | feel no better than those animals at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | I can't go back, but I need food. And that food is the only food I Floyd | know. Maybe it will be all right by now.

Floyd ] The home of the Princess Score: 45 Moves: 370 Floyd | Floyd | > NOTES Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Thank you for playing my IF competition entry. I hope you enjoyed it. Floyd | If you did, then I advise you to try some of my other games, which are Floyd | listed in the "about" section that can be accessed during the game. Floyd | There are seven possible endings. The one you received, plus four Floyd | others, can still be easily reached by typing "undo" and choosing a Floyd | different option. However, the other two endings can only be reached Floyd | by acting differently in the fantasy land. Floyd | Floyd | There are two paths in the game; the Path of Daedalus (a great Floyd | inventor from Greek myth) and the Path of Diomedes (a great warrior Floyd | from Greek myth). These paths correspond to solving puzzles with Floyd | inventive/helpful solutions or violent solutions. The game starts on Floyd | the Path of Daedalus, but it is possible to completely change the Floyd | nature of everything to the differently themed parallel world of the Floyd | Path of Diomedes. Each world better suits the respective method of Floyd | puzzle solving. Floyd | Floyd | The first change to the Path of Diomedes is triggered by the decision Floyd | to persevere with violent solutions to puzzles, rather than helpful Floyd | solutions. The game will seek to dissuade you from this course of Floyd | action, but if you persevere then you will succeed, and receive the Floyd | consequences. The opposite is true in returning the world to the Path Floyd | of Daedalus. There are a number of points where you can switch, and Floyd | depending on which path you reach the end on, there will be Floyd | differences to some of the possible endings.

Floyd | You see a quizzical look start to emerge on the face of the Princess,

Floyd | you feel yourself falling, and you grab out wildly. Unlike earlier
Floyd | when this whole mess started, you manage to grab hold of something. As
Floyd | your eyes adjust to the darkness you can see that you are in a hole,
Floyd | with the laboratory above you. You haul yourself upwards to a ledge,
Floyd | where you find the gold watch you lost earlier. You pick up the watch
Floyd | and continue to climb upwards until you escape.
Floyd |
Floyd | Back in the laboratory you place the gold watch in the machine and
Floyd | turn it on. A strange gold liquid remains after it is all mixed

Even if Floyd | it was, then no one would believe you. You carefully destroy any Floyd | evidence to the contrary of this position. The evidence was probably Floyd | only significant in your imagination anyway. It was all due to eating Floyd | a tainted native egg, which caused an adverse reaction. You can't Floyd | remember why you wanted to eat it in the first place. Floyd | Floyd | You report back to the ship that there was a fire, with no survivors. Floyd | On your return you promise yourself that you will try to avoid strange Floyd | places in the future. The ship soon returns to your home planet, and Floyd | you decide to take a long-deserved holiday in the familiar Floyd | surroundings.

Floyd ] The home of the Princess Score: 45 Moves: 370 Floyd | Floyd | > 2 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The planet is clearly not safe to be colonised in the short term, but Floyd | you figure that if everything that is touched by the pinkness soon Floyd | passes from this world, the problems will soon be resolved. This is Floyd | the recommendation you pass back to the ship, along with the evidence Floyd | that you have accumulated. You avoid talking about your own exploits, Floyd | as the Captain is a very serious person, who you think will only Floyd | believe evidence he sees for himself. Floyd | Floyd | The Captain is doubtful about the truthfulness of the documents you Floyd | bring back, but on your advice, he agrees that it is not worth taking Floyd | a chance. He reluctantly passes your recommendation through the Floyd | hierarchy, and this planet is taken off the colonisation agenda for Floyd | the next twenty years. Floyd | Floyd | Over the next few years you continue your rapid rise up the ranks, Floyd | with sterling performances in both the physical and mental aspects of Floyd | your roles. Eventually you are placed into training for a top Floyd | position, and on completion you win a role as a Captain of your own Floyd | ship. It is only a small ship, but you are finally in charge. You Floyd | barely notice when the twenty year mark is passed, having long put Floyd | your earlier adventures out of mind. Floyd | Floyd | At least your adventures are forgotten until one day you are called in Floyd | by your commanding officer. He shows you a report of disappearances on Floyd | a newly colonised planet, along with your recommendation for the Floyd | planet.

The two extremes meet Floyd | at the north and south points of the area. In between you can see a Floyd | farm to the east, a cave to the west, the Red Tower to the south and a Floyd | shop to the north.

The cave does not look too dark, as a Floyd | faint light emanates inside, although you cannot make out any details. Floyd | You are glad that you are not claustrophobic, although you are not Floyd | fond of dark holes ever since you had to hide in one on your last Floyd | mission. A path curves around a water tank, passing from the northeast Floyd | to the southeast. The water tank has a tap on one side, with a sign Floyd | above it saying "Area Water Storage".
