| CF | You lift your eyes up to the island and sigh. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It was just supposed to be a trip like so many you've flown, taking | ||
| CF | your small airplane to a remote island in the south Atlantic Ocean to | ||
| CF | deliver medicine and spare parts. You thought you'd be back by sunset, | ||
| CF | but a storm like you've never seen before whipped up out of nowhere | ||
| CF | and battered your airplane. You were losing altitude so fast, you had | ||
| CF | no choice but to take your parachute and ditch the plane in the drink. | ||
| CF | You're extremely lucky to have spotted this small island, a tall chunk | ||
| CF | of rock in the middle of the ocean. It saved you from certain death; | ||
| CF | but you can't stay on this island forever. You'll have to explore and | ||
| CF | see what you're working with. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You look back down and sigh. | ||

| CF | TRISTAM ISLAND | ||
| CF | By Hugo Labrande. | ||
| CF | Release 2 / Serial number 201128 / Inform v6.34 PunyInform v1.8 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Immaculate beach | ||
| CF | This is the south side of the island you are now stuck on. The | ||
| CF | immensity of the Atlantic Ocean makes you feel minuscule, a needle in | ||
| CF | a haystack, with no chance of being rescued. A steep hill covered by a | ||
| CF | dense forest stands to the north; climbing it would likely take hours, | ||
| CF | and you don't really know what you could find there, so you might as | ||
| CF | well explore your new home. The beach extends to the northeast, where | ||
| CF | you can see a large boulder, and to the west. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh, this sounds inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry." | |
| MoyTravis asks, "Hmm, this came out ~1 year ago?" | ||
| MoyTravis asks, "It's apparently commercial, did it start that way?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yes. It's been commercial from the start." | ||
| DavidW says, "try ABOUT or CREDITS" | ||
| Roger asks, "has logging actually started this time?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It may not be Saint-Exupéry. He doesn't list that in the credis, and I would think he would. Just a coincidence." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "itch.io lists 36 (!) platforms? Well. If that's his jam." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Roger), "Logging actually started last time, it just dropped. But yes, it's going." | ||

| CF | You're doing OK, all things considered. Still a bit shaken by the | ||
| CF | accident, but this island sure is interesting and warrants further | ||
| CF | exploration. You are fairly confident you will manage to escape, one | ||
| CF | way or another. You don't really know why -- just a hunch. | ||

| CF | a boulder on the sandy beach, northwest of you. There doesn't seem to | ||
| CF | be anything here in the turbid water. | ||

| CF | Northern cliffs | ||
| CF | A tall cliff made of chalk runs along the northern edge of the island; | ||
| CF | down below, where you are standing, is a small beach littered with | ||
| CF | rocks and pebbles. And then, you spot an incredible sight: a small | ||
| CF | fishing boat, moored to a long wooden dock. Unbelievable! A trace of | ||
| CF | human life on this island! And then you spot something else. A | ||
| CF | rickety-looking platform is resting on the beach, right against the | ||
| CF | side of the cliff; it looks like it rises all the way up to the top of | ||
| CF | the cliff with a rope-and-pulley mechanism. The beach continues | ||

| CF | of a rudimentary platform; the platform is currently on the beach. The | ||
| CF | rope then runs up to a pulley mechanism that is installed at the top | ||
| CF | of the cliff, then back down; that end of the rope lies on the beach. | ||
| CF | The bucket-like platform looks large enough to carry a fisherman and | ||
| CF | perhaps a large haul of fish, all the way up the cliff. | ||

| CF | It was just supposed to be a trip like so many you've flown, taking | ||
| CF | your small airplane to a remote island in the south Atlantic Ocean to | ||
| CF | deliver medicine and spare parts. You thought you'd be back by sunset, | ||
| CF | but a storm like you've never seen before whipped up out of nowhere | ||
| CF | and battered your airplane. You were losing altitude so fast, you had | ||
| CF | no choice but to take your parachute and ditch the plane in the drink. | ||
| CF | You're extremely lucky to have spotted this small island, a tall chunk | ||
| CF | of rock in the middle of the ocean. It saved you from certain death; | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | A shadow passes over you. You look up, and see a huge, white albatross | ||
| CF | descending towards you. The bird is magnificent, and its enormous | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You raise the fish above your head, and the albatross perks up. You | ||
| CF | throw the fish in front of you, and the albatross catches it in | ||
| CF | mid-air. You watch the albatross gulp the fish down quickly; it then | ||
| CF | lets out a satisfied squawk. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The albatross takes flight and disappears somewhere, behind some | ||
| CF | rocks. You sigh; you're going to have to try to fish again. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | But suddenly, the albatross comes back, and lands near you. In its | ||
| CF | beak, there is some kind of stick; it throws it your way, and you | ||

| CF | This is the stick the albatross dropped on you after you gave it the | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You blow in the small stick, which makes a high-pitched noise that you | ||
| CF | can barely hear. After a few seconds, you see the albatross | ||
| CF | approaching, and it flies above you a few times, surveying the | ||
| CF | situation. It then lands near you, and looks at you straight in the | ||
| CF | eye. Its glare is confused, maybe even angry; it tilts his head to the | ||
| CF | side, seemingly wondering why you called for help and what it is that | ||
| CF | you're expecting. It finally lets out a frustrated squawk and flies | ||

| CF | You look up, and the tall hill seems daunting; but looking closely, | ||

| CF | you have time, and you don't have to finish today; so you sit down and | ||
| CF | start clearing the dirt off the steps. There's a few inches of soft | ||
| CF | mud covering the small steps, but with some patience, and your sturdy | ||

| CF | mud to step on the next step. You continue methodically uncovering | ||

| CF | These shelves haven't been completely emptied, as there are a few | ||
| CF | cans, jars and bottles left. The bottles are mostly Worcestershire and | ||
| CF | Marmite -- which confirms that the island was inhabited by British | ||
| CF | people. The cans are cans of SPAM spiced ham, with the iconic label; | ||
| CF | as for the jars, they look like regular canning jars, probably Kilner | ||
| CF | jars, and they contain a grey and silver mixture. Coming closer, you | ||
| CF | see there are labels: "Grey mullet", "Bluefish", and the | ||
| CF | appetizing-sounding "Various". This probably means the people living | ||
| CF | on the island fished extensively, and canned whatever fish they could | ||
| CF | spare in order to have some on hand at any time. This is very good | ||
| CF | news for you; the cans will last a while and save you some trouble. | ||

| CF | and it's made of metal, whereas the house itself is made of wooden | ||
| CF | boards painted in white. Clearly, this is the entrance of a very | ||

| CF | You start climbing the tree, slowly and carefully, then sit astride | ||

| CF | look down as you steadily progress along the branch, which bends under | ||
| CF | your weight. You keep going -- but the branch is getting too thin to | ||
| CF | support your weight, and starts cracking and tipping! | ||

| CF | village, who fished and canned and mended and kept the island running, | ||
| CF | and weren't allowed to enter the fence; and the people who were, who | ||

| CF | You feel like whatever was going on inside was the whole purpose of | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | It all looks purposeful, but it's absolutely mystifying. The | ||
| CF | rope-and-pulley mechanism doesn't look like it does anything but make | ||
| CF | the buckets go up and down. The U-shaped pipe is hanging horizontally | ||
| CF | from the ceiling, above the mezzanine. It is made of several segments; | ||
| CF | the extremity closest to the south wall is angled up, and the opening | ||
| CF | is wider, like a funnel, while the other side of the pipe runs above | ||
| CF | the mezzanine and stops right before the buckets. The weight is | ||
| CF | precariously resting on a platform that's too small for it; should it | ||
| CF | fall, it would probably pull on the rope, that runs inside a pulley | ||
| CF | and towards a hole up high in the north wall. Simply baffling. | ||

| CF | Lobby of the white house | ||
| CF | The entrance of the white house is a large and rather messy atrium, | ||
| CF | lit only by a few lights as the windows have been boarded up. The | ||
| CF | walls are covered in notices and placards, some official-looking, some | ||
| CF | less so. A bewildering assortment of pipes, buckets and a weight hang | ||
| CF | on the wall and the ceiling, like some sort of Heath Robinson | ||
| CF | contraption. A tall statue stands in the middle of the room, in front | ||
| CF | of a wooden staircase leading up; next to the stairs, leading east, is | ||
| CF | a wide passageway. A hallway leads to the library, south of here; | ||

| CF | This is odd. This is a rather wide tube, fixed tight onto a tilted | ||

| CF | could put your fist in there. The middle part of the tube narrows, and | ||
| CF | a lever has been placed here. You scratch your head and think for a | ||

| CF | It all looks purposeful, but it's absolutely mystifying. The | ||
| CF | rope-and-pulley mechanism doesn't look like it does anything but make | ||
| CF | the buckets go up and down. The U-shaped pipe is hanging horizontally | ||
| CF | from the ceiling, above the mezzanine. It is made of several segments; | ||
| CF | the extremity closest to the south wall is angled up, and the opening | ||
| CF | is wider, like a funnel, while the other side of the pipe runs above | ||
| CF | the mezzanine and stops right before the buckets. The weight is | ||
| CF | precariously resting on a platform that's too small for it; should it | ||
| CF | fall, it would probably pull on the rope, that runs inside a pulley | ||
| CF | and towards a hole up high in the north wall. Simply baffling. | ||

| CF | This is the last house of the village on this side of the island; it | ||

| CF | exactly the same as the other buildings here. It is fairly close to | ||

| CF | on the wall and the ceiling, like some sort of Heath Robinson | ||
| CF | contraption. A tall statue stands in the middle of the room, in front | ||
| CF | of a wooden staircase leading up; next to the stairs, leading east, is | ||
| CF | a wide passageway. A hallway leads to the library, south of here; | ||
| CF | there is a closed door on the north wall, next to an odd tube-like | ||
| CF | contraption fixed onto a tilted stand. | ||

| CF | You can also see a bike pump here. | ||

| CF | You are standing by an open field, behind a fence, west of a white | ||
| CF | mansion with a closed front door. The fence is tall, and there is | ||
| CF | barbed wire at the top; the door here allowed people to go in and out, | ||
| CF | but the guardhouse shows it was closely monitored. A sign by the | ||
| CF | guardhouse right behind the fence reads "Authorised Personnel Only". | ||
| CF | You can follow the fence by going north or southeast, or go to the | ||

| CF | chairs; a solitary pint is on a table. The bar is opposite of the | ||
| CF | door; the shelves behind it appear empty, as if all the alcohol had | ||
| CF | been taken. The door frame behind the bar leads further in, into the | ||
| CF | pub's kitchen. On one wall are hung a map, and a notice board with a | ||
| CF | signup sheet; there is a vintage-looking jukebox on the opposite wall. | ||

| CF | You are inside the fence, in a wide open field that's overgrown with | ||
| CF | rather tall grass. In the middle, the grass hasn't grown as much, | ||
| CF | suggesting there used to be a dirt path leading from the gate in the | ||

| CF | and it's made of metal, whereas the house itself is made of wooden | ||
| CF | boards painted in white. Clearly, this is the entrance of a very | ||

| CF | At last, you enter the white mansion, inside of which is something so | ||
| CF | important that it needed to be protected by a fence, a guard, and a | ||
| CF | keypad. There were two kinds of people on this island: the ones in the | ||
| CF | village, who fished and canned and mended and kept the island running, | ||
| CF | and weren't allowed to enter the fence; and the people who were, who | ||
| CF | knew the combination of the keypad and could enter the white house. | ||
| CF | You feel like whatever was going on inside was the whole purpose of | ||
| CF | occupying the island; at this point, it's not just about finding a | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The elevator is still going deeper. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Who were the civilians living here, under military supervision, but | ||
| CF | clearly not jailed? Were they working for the military? On what kind | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Major, | ||
| CF | I urgently request that you and your superiors reconsider the test | ||
| CF | scheduled for the 15th of February 1962. Our estimates for the type | ||
| CF | and size of bomb we are working with are several hundred kilotons | ||
| CF | above what we would consider safe, considering the distance between | ||
| CF | our island and Tristam Island. | ||
| CF | Our worries are not about the damage the bomb would cause to our | ||
| CF | island and its structures, but more about the radioactive fallout that | ||
| CF | has a high chance of blowing our way. Should this happen, our | ||
| CF | radiation exposure would be high, and remain high as the ashes deposit | ||
| CF | on our island. Remaining on the island would not be an option; we | ||
| CF | calculated with our resident doctor that the risk of cancer would | ||
| CF | increase one hundredfold. | ||
| CF | Please, we urge you to reconsider the size of the explosion, if you | ||
| CF | want the experimentations here to continue; a blast this size would | ||
| CF | render our island unlivable, and would require us to evacuate it. | ||
| CF | Sincerely, | ||
| CF | Doctor Alexander Grant | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Wow. Is this what happened on this island? Is this why everyone left? | ||
| CF | Did they go ahead with the explosion, and it exposed everybody to so | ||
| CF | much radiation that the island was uninhabitable? Given the state of | ||
| CF | the village, the date on the comic book, the songs in the jukebox, the | ||
| CF | fact people stopped signing up to take care of the garden after the | ||
| CF | 18th of February, it would make sense to guess that this island was | ||
| CF | indeed abandoned in February 1962... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Either way, you hadn't considered how the fallout might affect this | ||
| CF | island -- and with it, you. You ate a fish that probably was pretty | ||
| CF | close to Tristam Island, touched a lot of objects... You need to find | ||
| CF | the key to the communications room, and quickly get out of this | ||
| CF | island. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You search the pile of papers, and the one that catches your attention | ||
| CF | is a letter written by Doctor Alexander Grant to the Major Westwood: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Major, | ||
| CF | I urgently request that you and your superiors reconsider the test | ||
| CF | scheduled for the 15th of February 1962. Our estimates for the type | ||
| CF | and size of bomb we are working with are several hundred kilotons | ||
| CF | above what we would consider safe, considering the distance between | ||
| CF | our island and Tristam Island. | ||
| CF | Our worries are not about the damage the bomb would cause to our | ||
| CF | island and its structures, but more about the radioactive fallout that | ||
| CF | has a high chance of blowing our way. Should this happen, our | ||
| CF | radiation exposure would be high, and remain high as the ashes deposit | ||
| CF | on our island. Remaining on the island would not be an option; we | ||
| CF | calculated with our resident doctor that the risk of cancer would | ||
| CF | increase one hundredfold. | ||
| CF | Please, we urge you to reconsider the size of the explosion, if you | ||
| CF | want the experimentations here to continue; a blast this size would | ||
| CF | render our island unlivable, and would require us to evacuate it. | ||
| CF | Sincerely, | ||
| CF | Doctor Alexander Grant | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Wow. Is this what happened on this island? Is this why everyone left? | ||
| CF | Did they go ahead with the explosion, and it exposed everybody to so | ||
| CF | much radiation that the island was uninhabitable? Given the state of | ||
| CF | the village, the date on the comic book, the songs in the jukebox, the | ||
| CF | fact people stopped signing up to take care of the garden after the | ||
| CF | 18th of February, it would make sense to guess that this island was | ||
| CF | indeed abandoned in February 1962... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Either way, you hadn't considered how the fallout might affect this | ||
| CF | island -- and with it, you. You ate a fish that probably was pretty | ||
| CF | close to Tristam Island, touched a lot of objects... You need to find | ||
| CF | the key to the communications room, and quickly get out of this | ||
| CF | island. | ||

| CF | to explore, none of which have doors. However, to the west, you can | ||
| CF | see a door, with a plate that reads "COMMS ROOM" -- at last, a way to | ||
| CF | use the radio and send an SOS message! There is a small desk here, | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Major, | ||
| CF | I urgently request that you and your superiors reconsider the test | ||
| CF | scheduled for the 15th of February 1962. Our estimates for the type | ||
| CF | and size of bomb we are working with are several hundred kilotons | ||
| CF | above what we would consider safe, considering the distance between | ||
| CF | our island and Tristam Island. | ||
| CF | Our worries are not about the damage the bomb would cause to our | ||
| CF | island and its structures, but more about the radioactive fallout that | ||
| CF | has a high chance of blowing our way. Should this happen, our | ||
| CF | radiation exposure would be high, and remain high as the ashes deposit | ||
| CF | on our island. Remaining on the island would not be an option; we | ||
| CF | calculated with our resident doctor that the risk of cancer would | ||
| CF | increase one hundredfold. | ||
| CF | Please, we urge you to reconsider the size of the explosion, if you | ||
| CF | want the experimentations here to continue; a blast this size would | ||
| CF | render our island unlivable, and would require us to evacuate it. | ||
| CF | Sincerely, | ||
| CF | Doctor Alexander Grant | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Wow. Is this what happened on this island? Is this why everyone left? | ||
| CF | Did they go ahead with the explosion, and it exposed everybody to so | ||
| CF | much radiation that the island was uninhabitable? After all, you found | ||
| CF | this letter in the litter bin -- it doesn't sound like the Major took | ||
| CF | the warning very seriously. Given the state of the village, the date | ||
| CF | on the comic book, the songs in the jukebox, the fact people stopped | ||
| CF | signing up to take care of the garden after the 18th of February, it | ||
| CF | would make sense to guess that this island was indeed abandoned in | ||
| CF | February 1962... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Either way, you hadn't considered how the fallout might affect this | ||
| CF | island -- and with it, you. You ate a fish that probably was pretty | ||
| CF | close to Tristam Island, touched a lot of objects... You need to | ||
| CF | quickly get out of this island. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | One large radio transmitter is in this room. On a desk, you can see a | ||
| CF | microphone with a small button on its stand. The dial of the | ||
| CF | transmitter on the desk, above a wide access panel, is unusually | ||
| CF | large, which makes it easy to read precisely the frequency currently | ||
| CF | in use; a large knob below controls the frequency. | ||

| CF | "YES!" | ||
| CF | You frantically push the button, and establish contact with them -- | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | It takes a few more days, but when you see the helicopter approaching, | ||
| CF | you yelp in delight. The helicopter lands on the field in front of the | ||
| CF | white house, and a British officer gets off the helicopter. "How do | ||
| CF | you do. My name is Colonel Bradley, and I'm here to take you home. Are | ||
| CF | you ready?" | ||
| CF | "I've never been more ready to go home, Colonel." | ||

| CF | smile: the albatross is here, looking at you with a quizzical look. | ||
| CF | "Goodbye, friend!" you say as you wave at it. | ||
| CF | The bird doesn't reply, but you imagine it must be thanking you for | ||
| CF | the fish... The thought makes you smile. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | And as the helicopter gains altitude, you look back down at Tristam | ||
| CF | Island. The small, charred, destroyed island is soon nothing more than | ||
| CF | a speck in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean; but you're taking its | ||
| CF | secret home with you. | ||
