| CF | You wake up in your bedroom. You remember that it is your birthday, | ||

| CF | > ABOUT | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It all started with a walkthrough of an imaginary game that 8-year-old | ||
| CF | Ruth typed for Daddy's birthday... then Daddy converted it into a real | ||
| CF | game, with Ruth's help. It is possible to play it exactly as in the | ||
| CF | original walkthrough, or to enjoy a very different birthday. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Thanks to the following amazing beta testers: Auntie J; B Slade | ||
| CF | (beslayed); Edo; Garry Francis (Warrigal); Giannis Georgiou | ||
| CF | (GiannisG); Grandma and Grandpa; Mummy; Rovarsson; Ruth. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | If you are new to interactive fiction, type "tutorial". To use Ruth's | ||
| CF | story during the game, type "walkthrough". | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Big Bedroom | ||
| CF | You are in the biggest bedroom in the house. Your daughter usually | ||
| CF | calls it "Mummy's Bedroom" by mistake. This is probably because Mummy | ||
| CF | usually is found sleeping in it. There is a big wardrobe in front of | ||
| CF | you and a rocking chair to the left. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "Or daddy has been 21 for xty years now." | |
| MoyTravis says, "21+ What...what does that...mean." | ||
| MoyTravis says, ""Older than 21?"" | ||
| DavidW says, "yes" | ||

| CF | disappeared. There is a door to the northwest. | ||

| CF | Puffing and roaring, the ship slowly touches down on the orange sand. | ||
| CF | Then the engines die and it becomes quiet again. Only the sand under | ||
| CF | the engines, which had melted into glass, still bubbles and smokes. | ||
| CF | Inside the caravel are cool dark passages with small lights here and | ||
| CF | there. The ship's distributed processors decide the conditions are met | ||
| CF | to wake a pilgrim. So the displays on the pilgrim's sarcophagus begin | ||
| CF | to light up and show readings from the sensors inside. Nobody is there | ||
| CF | to read them anyway. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The cervix at the bottom of the sarcophagus opens and the escaping | ||
| CF | liquid disappears gurgling in the drain below. The cervix opens | ||
| CF | further and further and the body of the pilgrim behind it slowly sinks | ||
| CF | down. Finally it slips out, feet first, onto the floor in front of the | ||
| CF | sarcophagus. The limp, wet body seems lifeless, but then it begins to | ||
| CF | twitch and choke. The pilgrim gasps and eventually she raises her | ||
| CF | torso and leans on her shaky arms. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Then you take a short break and look around: Two-thirds of the way up | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You press against the stone and are amazed at how easily and quickly | ||
| CF | it gives way. It tips over the edge and immediately picks up speed. | ||
| CF | What happens next seems to happen in slow motion before your eyes: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | First - the spherical stone reaches the bottom of the crater and rolls | ||
| CF | on and on, at high speed towards the ship. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Secondly - the stone hits one of the ship's engine nozzles. The nozzle | ||
| CF | gives way and is simply torn off. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Third - it looks as if the ship just stays there, unimpressed. Only | ||
| CF | after what feels like a very long moment, does the ship finally tip | ||
| CF | very gradually to one side. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Fourth - the slow movement turns into a very fast and powerful one. | ||
| CF | The ship hits the ground with a huge crash and disappears behind a | ||
| CF | swirling cloud of orange dust. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Fifth - you awaken from your state of shock and realise that there | ||
| CF | will be no future here. At least not for you. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | This should be | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You press against the stone and are amazed at how easily and quickly | ||
| CF | it gives way. It tips over the edge and immediately picks up speed. | ||
| CF | What happens next seems to happen in slow motion before your eyes: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | First - the spherical stone reaches the bottom of the crater and rolls | ||
| CF | on and on, at high speed towards the ship. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Secondly - the stone hits one of the ship's engine nozzles. The nozzle | ||
| CF | gives way and is simply torn off. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Third - it looks as if the ship just stays there, unimpressed. Only | ||
| CF | after what feels like a very long moment, does the ship finally tip | ||
| CF | very gradually to one side. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Fourth - the slow movement turns into a very fast and powerful one. | ||
| CF | The ship hits the ground with a huge crash and disappears behind a | ||
| CF | swirling cloud of orange dust. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Fifth - you awaken from your state of shock and realise that there | ||
| CF | will be no future here. At least not for you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This should be | ||

| CF | Prototaxite forest in the pyramid | ||
| CF | The glass pyramid is basically a greenhouse, but with enormous | ||
| CF | dimensions, in which a whole forest of giant prototaxites grows. In | ||
| CF | the middle of the forest is a tall slender building. A door leads | ||
| CF | inside and ramps lead up (to the upper floor) and down (into the | ||
| CF | ground). The entrance sluice is to the north. | ||

| CF | Upper Chamber | ||
| CF | The top floor of the building consists of a single room and your gut | ||
| CF | tells you that it is at the geometric centre of the pyramid. There is | ||
| CF | only one exit: a ramp leading down. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can see a medical chaise longue (on which is a lifeless body) and | ||
| CF | a medical scanner here. | ||

| CF | > GIVE WATER TO BODY | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Carefully you pour the water from the bottle into the mouth of the | ||
| CF | lifeless body. The body shows no reaction. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You continue anyway and finally the hitherto lifeless body begins to | ||
| CF | twitch and choke! It finally rears up, coughing for air! | ||

| CF | You look in the mirror: that's definitely you, Jon. A little unshaven, | ||
| CF | yes, and the hair is a little shaggy, but it's clearly you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What a dream! You straighten your hair a little. Did you really expect | ||

| CF | Wonderful Garden | ||
| CF | The garden looks magnificent and it is. Everything is in bloom and | ||
| CF | thriving, and the glass dome stretches over it. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can see Valerie here. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | She looks up as you step out of your room: "Hi, Jon, you slept late | ||
| CF | today." She smiles at you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Yes," you reply, "I had a, er, unusual dream." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Oh? What was it about?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Well, it was all about you, really." That's not outright lying, after | ||
| CF | all, and you don't necessarily have to tell her she died two times in | ||
| CF | your dream. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Well, that's good then." She smiles mischievously at you and then | ||
| CF | looks shyly to the side. "Look what I found! It seems to be a new kind | ||
| CF | of plant. I found it in different places in the garden." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | She holds up what looks like a purple coral. And further back in the | ||
| CF | garden, the ugly robot drives by. | ||

| olethros says, "but the purple coral was foretold!11" | ||
| Knight_Otu idly wonders if there's a better ending if we never die. | ||
| DavidW says, "When I play this again, I have to try pushing the boulder when the glass pyramid is built." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Oh. That's a thought." | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm glad we played this." | ||
| DavidW says, "It's a shame the other four colonists died." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Some awkward spots, especially with the pickaxe." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "Pfft they were NEVER REAL and anybody who says otherwise is mad." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Or maybe we woke them up and sent them to live in other craters." | ||
| DavidW says, "Crater Mongolia" | ||
