ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Halloween Horror by Roody Yogurt

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of The Halloween Horror written by Roody Yogurt. It was intended for Ectocomp, but not submitted. Sadness. You can learn more about this game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Jacqueline says, "DW Do you recall the game? I can't really describe it without giving away its awesomeness."
DavidW asks, "Was it The Halloween Horror?"
DavidW says, "[LINK]"
Jacqueline says (to DW), "Ooh, maybe."
DavidW says, "Contains horrorpartI.hex and horrorpartII.hex"
Jacqueline says, "Oh, of course it's under Roody Yogurt."
Jacqueline says, "Here's the deal, though. You only get the surprise the first time, I think. And we played it once on Floyd."
Jacqueline says, "Oh, huh. This was writting FOR ectocomp but not submitted"
DavidW says, "ectoparti and ectopartii"
Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, that'sthem."
Jacqueline says, "Oh, maybe."
Jacqueline says, "But let me reupload it. One sec."
DavidW says, "I dunno if that'll work."
Jacqueline says, "I'm going to just use the file names it has."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load horrorparti"

Roger says, "indeed it is cool"
