Floyd ] Exits: Phone Booth Floyd | > Floyd | > ABOUT Floyd | Floyd | Color the Truth is a parser game, which means that you type in short Floyd | phrases that determine the main character's actions. For a list of Floyd | standard commands, type COMMANDS and press enter. Floyd | Floyd | Speech: In this game, you have a list of topics that you can Floyd | talk to others about (found by typing TOPICS, or just T). You Floyd | communicate with others by typing SAY [some topic ] when you are Floyd | around another person, or by just typing the name of the topic. The Floyd | text of a topic and the history of the suspects' responses can be Floyd | found by examining the topic. Floyd | Floyd | Flashbacks: You can relive the experiences of witnesses by Floyd | SAYing STATEMENT to them. All flashbacks have a natural ending, but, Floyd | to exit a flashback early, you can type STOP. Floyd | Floyd | Deductions: You will frequently need to catch people in Floyd | contradictions. Thererfore, topics can be linked to each other to Floyd | create new topics by deduction. To link two topics, just type LINK Floyd | [first topic] TO [second topic ]. Linking is an essential part of this Floyd | game, but only after the statements have been taken. Floyd | Floyd | Credits: For credits, type CREDITS. For hints, type HINTS.

Floyd ] Exits: Phone Booth Floyd | > Floyd | > CREDITS Floyd | Floyd | Color The Truth is written by Brian Rushton under the name Mathbrush, Floyd | using Inform 7. Inform 7 and its helpful examples library were Floyd | developed by Graham Nelson and Emily Short. Floyd | Floyd | The linking of topics is inspired by comments from Chandler Groover on Floyd | my previous game, Halloween Dance. The idea of having conversational Floyd | topics in your inventory showed up in The Baker of Shireton before Floyd | this game or Halloween Dance, and was an inspiration. The radio Floyd | station setting was inspired by the circus setting in Ballyhoo; I Floyd | tried to find something that would invoke similar feelings 30 years Floyd | later. Floyd | Floyd | I kept several classic mystery games in mind while writing this game, Floyd | including Deadline, Ballyhoo, Make It Good, Toby's Nose, and An Act of Floyd | Murder. Floyd | Floyd | Color the Truth was beta tested by Ade McTavish, Arno Von Bories, Floyd | kettie, Alice Grove, XanMag, Teaspoon, Hanon Ondricek, Marco Floyd | Innocenti, Sam Kabo Ashwell, Robin Johnson, Owlor, Felicity Banks, Floyd | Sean Shore and Ben Kidwell. Ade McTavish in particular tested almost Floyd | every version of the game and provided extremely useful feedback. Floyd | Floyd | Finally, none of this would be possible without the support of my Floyd | wonderful wife Lindsey, who tested my game and gave me the Floyd | encouragement to keep on trying.

Floyd | Join me for... an Evening with Rosa." Floyd | Floyd | An unfamiliar voice cuts in. You set down your charcoal. Floyd | Floyd | "Tonight's episode will consist of highlights from the album Floyd | The Very Best of An Evening with Rosa (Part 3), as a tribute Floyd | to the celebrated radio personality Rosalita Morales, who was found Floyd | dead this morning in her studio. The police have yet to-" Floyd | Floyd | You shake your head, and switch off the radio. Jayla would have been Floyd | devastated; she adored Rosalita Morales. You return your attention to Floyd | your painting; it's not turning out the way you hoped. Your stomach Floyd | sinks, knowing what's coming. And you only had one week left... Floyd | Floyd | The phone rings. You sigh, and answer. "Hello?" Floyd | Floyd | They answer. "Hector, this Chief Schwarz. I need you to come in early Floyd | tomorrow..." Floyd | Floyd | Color the Truth Floyd | A variegated verity by Brian Rushton Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 160923 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Schwarz's Office Floyd | You glance about the office. The Chief's office is full of shades of Floyd | black; he's told you that it's a symbol of authority, and makes him Floyd | more imposing. You find it depressing. Floyd | Floyd | The office is large, and the leaden morning light from the window does Floyd | little to brighten it. Its many bookshelves are filled with sable Floyd | leather-bound volumes; it smells like a library in here, a mix of old Floyd | books and card stock. The new chief's broad oak desk is in the center Floyd | of the room, spotted with ink stains. A banker's lamp with a ebony Floyd | shade stands on the desk, turned off. Floyd | Floyd | The only way out is through the coal-black door to the south. Floyd | Floyd | The Chief should be here soon. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "We won't be the blackmailer now." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Neither the thief, who turns out dead." | ||

| DavidW says, "Rosa is probably red or pink." | ||
| Doug says, "hence the name Schwarz" | ||

Floyd ] Exits: S Floyd | Schwarz's Office Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are Detective Hector King, a 30-year veteran of the force and Floyd | nearing retirement. You are wearing a frayed ash-grey suit suit with a Floyd | checkered tie and a silvery dress shirt. Your stiff black-and-grey Floyd | hair is cropped short, and your badge is pinned to your suit pocket. Floyd | Floyd | The door behind you opens, and Chief Schwarz slips in. "Good, you're Floyd | here," he says as he grips your hand before sitting down. "Listen, Floyd | Hector. Rosalita Morales was found dead in the KOLR studio yesterday." Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah, I heard." Floyd | Floyd | He cracks his knuckles and says, "The lab is working on the evidence, Floyd | but so far we've got nothing. I've got our people talking to everyone Floyd | she knew. There's a special assignment for you." Floyd | Floyd | "She's left money to four people. A lot of money. I've asked them to Floyd | come to the studio for questioning." Floyd | Floyd | He reaches into a drawer and grabs a folder that he tosses on the Floyd | desk. "I've prepared a dossier on the suspects, along with the Floyd | preliminary report on the death. Take it with you." Floyd | Floyd | [New topic - Testament] Floyd | Floyd | [New topic - Suspicion] Floyd | Floyd | On the desk is a worn manila folder. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "KOLR = color" | |

Floyd ] Exits: S Floyd | Schwarz's Office Floyd | > Floyd | > SAY TESTAMENT Floyd | Floyd | (to Schwarz) Floyd | "What all can you tell me about the will?" Floyd | Floyd | "I had the agency attorney look over it. It looks legitimate; she Floyd | signed the newest version about 2 years ago." Floyd | Floyd | "And you said there are only four people in the will?" you ask. "What Floyd | about the rest of her family?" Floyd | Floyd | "We checked it out. Only had one sister, and her parents died when Floyd | they were teens." Floyd | Floyd | "Murder?" Floyd | Floyd | "Car crash. Looks like she kept to herself, too. Not many friends Floyd | outside of work. So what does that leave us? Her sister, her Floyd | coworker-turned-husband-turned-ex, her business partner, and her Floyd | personal assistant." Floyd | Floyd | "Do you remember what she left them?" Floyd | Floyd | "No, I don't. It's in the folder I left you, though; you can just look Floyd | up each suspect." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "Well, what does 'hector' mean as a verb?" | |
| wordsmith says, "to badger..." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Being hectic? ;p" | ||
| DavidW says, "to ask the questions. A lot." | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "But that's no color. Is it?" | ||
| DavidW says, "It's not color-related, but very we're-the-PC related." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Admittedly." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "say suspicions" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: S Floyd | Schwarz's Office Floyd | > Floyd | > SAY SUSPICIONS Floyd | Floyd | (to Schwarz) Floyd | "Chief, what makes you so sure that one of these people was involved?" Floyd | Floyd | "Listen, it's easy: Follow the money. These four are all much better Floyd | off now that she's dead. It's not hard to see a connection there." Floyd | Floyd | "Right," you say, "but anyone could have done it when you come down to Floyd | it; some stalker, or something." Floyd | Floyd | "You know, I'd almost prefer that. Find some psycho that's roaming the Floyd | streets, clean up the city. And I'm working on that angle. But the Floyd | fact is these four have a clear motive. You do your job, and I'll do Floyd | mine." Floyd | Floyd | > | Doug says, "it's more "truth"-related, which is also in the title" | |
| DavidW says, "I remember another game where the PC's name was Paige Blanc." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Owee." | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "But maybe they were extraordinarily well developed?" | ||

"You can go now," he says, pointing to the Floyd | door to the south. Floyd | Floyd | "Call me whenever you want to talk," he says, pointing to his phone. Floyd | He fixes you in place with his stare. "This case is important to me. Floyd | If you need anything, please call." Floyd | Floyd | [New topic - Assistance] Floyd | Floyd | The Chief looks thoughtful, and taps his fingers on the desk. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Thanks." | |

Floyd ] Exits: N E W Floyd | Lobby Floyd | ***********************After parking, you stop for a moment. The cold Floyd | pewter-gray rain patters on your windshield, obscuring your view. You Floyd | breathe deeply, a soft silver mist escaping your lips in the chill Floyd | air. You sit for a moment, eyeing the studio. It's a sandy colored Floyd | brick building, short and narrow, crammed between a pawn shop and a Floyd | Chinese restaurant. You grab the manila folder, throw open your door Floyd | and race inside. Floyd | Floyd | Lobby Floyd | KOLR studios is smaller than you thought, decorated with a brown and Floyd | tan theme with occasional splashes of color. The neutral tones suggest Floyd | a professional but boring atmosphere. A faded rainbow stencil on the Floyd | wall invites you to KOL studios; the R has worn off. The sepia-hued Floyd | front desk hardly fits in this cramped room, but the beige ceiling is Floyd | quite high; it looks like it was once part of a larger room. The muddy Floyd | carpet is scuffed and worn, curling up on the edges. One of the Floyd | off-white fluorescent lights in the ceiling flickers intermittently. Floyd | Barely audible is the buzzing of another light. The smell of burnt Floyd | popcorn wafts in from a break room to the west. The doorway to Floyd | the north leads to the hallway. The parking lot is back to the Floyd | south, and a bathroom door stands to the east. An ivory Floyd | telephone sits on the desk. Floyd | Floyd | A young woman dressed in beige and dandelion yellow is perched on the Floyd | desk. She hops down and approaches you hesitantly. Floyd | Floyd | She asks "Are you... Detective King?" Floyd | Floyd | "Yes. And you are?" Floyd | Floyd | She says, "Oh, I'm just the secretary here. They asked me to come here Floyd | for questioning, or something like that. A bunch of us, actually; we Floyd | all took different rooms." Floyd | Floyd | You hear a rustling sound from the north hallway. You both turn to Floyd | look. You catch a glimpse of neon green hair, and you hear footsteps Floyd | down the hallway. Floyd | Floyd | The secretary looks back at you. "That's Rosalita's sister. She's Floyd | supposed to be waiting in the studio." She rolls her eyes. "She's a Floyd | singer who calls herself Andromeda. Chuck's in his old office across Floyd | the hall from her, and Danny's at the very end by...well, uh, by Floyd | Rosalita's office. Anyway, I'll be in the break room." Floyd | Floyd | She walks off to the west. You realize that you didn't catch her name. Floyd | You'll need to get that later, along with her statement.
