| CF | | ||
| CF | A large wooden slide puzzle, guarding the way into the box. It's a | ||
| CF | 10x10 puzzle, with numbers 1 through 99 printed on it and mixed around | ||
| CF | and... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Yeah, you're not gonna try and solve this. There had better be some | ||

| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "break ice" | ||
| CF ] Mysterious Room | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > BREAK ICE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Good thinking, but you're not confident that the ice will give before | ||
| CF | the hammer. | ||

| CF ] Mysterious Room | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > BREAK BOX | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You line the hammer up carefully, and give the strongest blow you can | ||
| CF | deliver to the box. The box does indeed smash open... and the hammer's | ||
| CF | head comes off, leaving you holding the useless handle. Oh well. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "Flimsy tools." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "x box" | ||

| CF | The top of the box has a nice hole punched in it, allowing you to see | ||
| CF | and remove the contents, along with slide puzzle pieces scattered | ||
| CF | across the desk and floor. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | In the slide puzzle box is an orange berry. | ||

| CF | > PUT BERRY ON ICE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The block of ice, in spite of the cold air being blasted at it, begins | ||
| CF | to steam and melt away. After about a minute, it's nothing but a | ||
| CF | puddle. A thin key is ripe for the taking now. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW asks, "The orange berry from Dreamhold?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Does that radiate heat? Then maybe." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "get key" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Hi! I'm Earth Traveler, and welcome to my first work of IF, The Game | ||
| CF | That Never Ends! | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This is a rather bizarre work of IF, starring the featureless amnesiac | ||
| CF | protagonist being run through an endless gauntlet of puzzle rooms. On | ||
| CF | second thought, that isn't really that bizarre, except for the fact | ||
| CF | that the series of rooms is truly endless, and the puzzles aren't | ||
| CF | particularly challenging - except for possibly that one with the | ||
| CF | lights. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | In spite of the title, this game does have an ending, but you might | ||
| CF | have to think outside the box to find it. If you feel stuck, type HINT | ||
| CF | to display one of a list of hints. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Thank you for playing! | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | If you have any questions about the game or any bugs you would like to | ||
| CF | report, feel free to email me at earthtraveler413@outlook.com. | ||

| CF | You burst into a green-carpeted, wood-paneled room. There's a door on | ||
| CF | the western wall, and the window does indeed overlook the fake room, | ||
| CF | but what immediately catches your attention are the two people in the | ||
| CF | middle of the room, next to a crummy white plastic table. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | There's a man here, looks like he's in his forties or fifties, already | ||
| CF | most of the way to bald with gray hair. He wears a gray shirt, black | ||
| CF | slacks, and a black vest, and has a United States Air Force patch sewn | ||
| CF | onto the latter. He's standing up, but half-leaning, half-sitting on | ||
| CF | the table, with his arms crossed, looking right at you with an | ||
| CF | impassive expression. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The other man looks like some kind of astronaut. He's decked out is | ||
| CF | some kind of gray spacesuit or hazmat looking thing for some reason, | ||
| CF | with the faceplate entirely opaque from your side. You can't see where | ||
| CF | he's looking, but you get the feeling it's right at you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Then it hits you. Neither of these guys are at all surprised to see | ||
| CF | you in here. Well of course they aren't, they probably just watched | ||
| CF | you burst out of the hologram and come up the stairs, probably even | ||
| CF | unlocked the door for you. God, it was stupid of you to think you | ||
| CF | could get out of here that easily with a windowed room right | ||
| CF | above you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Although it may not be as hopeless as you thought; there's another | ||
| CF | door across the room, along the western wall. You'll have to be quick, | ||
| CF | but you might make it. | ||

| CF | and for the first time you notice the holstered gun on his hip. You | ||
| CF | freeze, thinking frantically about how you can get past the man. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The man examines you impassively for a moment, then nods. "Well," he | ||
| CF | says, "You didn't do too bad. You needed a little help, but you | ||
| CF | figured things out eventually. Decent enough, I suppose." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "You see how our technology works, General," says a voice that sounds | ||
| CF | like Darth Vader. With a jolt, you realize the astronaut must've | ||
| CF | spoken. And then you realize what he just said must mean... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Oh yes, yes," replies the man, turning to the astronaut. "Your | ||
| CF | technology is extremely impressive, and I think we can put it to | ||
| CF | excellent use." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "That is well," says the astronaut. "But there is still the matter of | ||
| CF | compensation for the delivery of our technology. We wish to have more | ||
| CF | test subjects of your species. For our own scientific knowledge." | ||
| CF | "You've had plenty of subjects," says the man coolly. "That is true," | ||
| CF | replies the astronaut. "But we have not yet had a female subject," he | ||
| CF | says nodding in your direction. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Your eyes widen in horror as it all comes together. This is a | ||
| CF | government facility, that kidnapped you, to test alien technology on | ||
| CF | you, and now they're going to give you to the aliens to stick needles | ||
| CF | in you or God knows what. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The man turns back to look at you, and you stare at him, as if | ||
| CF | pleading for mercy, as if this bastard has any mercy. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "I'll have to sleep on it, Commander," he says unhappily. Maybe he | ||
| CF | won't give you to the aliens, but you somehow doubt he'll just let you | ||
| CF | waltz on out of here. You need to get out of here, NOW. | ||

| CF | Before you can even think of what to do next, the wooden door bursts | ||
| CF | open and a group of men in clad in riot gear and wielding batons rush | ||
| CF | into the room and grab you, manhandling you like you were nothing more | ||
| CF | than a sack of potatoes. You try to fight back, but it's no use at | ||
| CF | all. You never had any chance to escape at all, you realize. The | ||
| CF | thought almost makes you want to cry. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | One of the soldiers produces a syringe with a clear fluid. You flail | ||
| CF | desperately to keep him from injecting what must be poison, but the | ||

| CF | I love about you," you say to him, almost laughing in delight at | ||
| CF | having found someone so sharp, so observant to spend your life with. | ||

| CF | You did manage to light a fire though, and that's what you and Matt | ||

| CF | stumble to a start toward the cover of the forest but it's already far | ||

| CF | "NOOO!" you yell with a sob. Tears of sadness, of anger, come to your | ||
| CF | eyes. You look at Matt's dying form, then leap at the monster, putting | ||
| CF | your hands around its throat. The monster seems surprised at first, | ||
| CF | but easily wrestles you off of him and contemptuously casts you to the | ||
| CF | ground. You guess this is the end. | ||

| CF | Suddenly the monster seems to tear off one of its own paws, and in its | ||
| CF | place is a hand. Before you can even process this, that hand reaches | ||
| CF | down and you feel a sting, the sting of a needle sliding into your | ||
| CF | flesh. You try to stand, to flee, to something, but the strength ebbs | ||
| CF | from your body within seconds. But you don't go unconscious. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | So you get to see the monster tear off its other paw, take off its | ||
| CF | head, and finally shed its hairy torso and legs. In its place is a | ||
| CF | human, but you're quite sure he's no less of a monster than the one | ||
| CF | portrayed by his suit. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | He sticks the paws and head into a backpack that was under his suit, | ||
| CF | then rolls up the body and manages to stuff it in as well. He turns | ||
| CF | his attention to you, saying, "The lieutenant colonel wanted one of | ||
| CF | you alive, and it looks like you get to be the lucky one." | ||

| CF | With nothing else to do, you wait. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Time passes. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | At last you hear the door open. Two men come into view. The first is | ||
| CF | dressed like a doctor, replete with a surgical mask, although you | ||
| CF | wonder what kind of doctor would agree to be part of something like | ||
| CF | this. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The second is a man who looks like he's in his forties or fifties, | ||
| CF | already most of the way to bald with gray hair. He wears a gray shirt, | ||
| CF | black slacks, and a black vest, and has a United States Air Force | ||
| CF | patch sewn onto the latter. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | He looks you over for a minute, then turns to the doctor and says, "Do | ||
| CF | it." The doctor reveals a needle, rolls up your sleeve, dabs your skin | ||
| CF | with an antiseptic cloth, and injects you. You slip into | ||
| CF | unconsciousness within thirty seconds, left only with the sting, the | ||
| CF | sting, the sting of the needle? | ||

| CF | The soldiers haul you deeper into the facility, into some kind of cell | ||
| CF | block, dumping you into the cot of an empty cell with no more ceremony | ||
| CF | than a group of mobsters dumping a snitch into a shallow grave. You | ||
| CF | can't move yet, of course, having been injected with the same drug the | ||
| CF | monster gave you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Cell | ||
| CF | The room is practically barren, with a dim yellow bulb in the ceiling | ||
| CF | and four utterly undecorated walls. Apart from your bunk, it's empty. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | But now, you remember everything. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | ***You have uncovered the awful truth...*** | ||

| CF | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last | ||
| CF | command? | ||

| DavidW says, "uh-huh" | ||
| MoyTravis says, "F us I guess." | ||
| Roger asks, "think there might be another ending?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think that's all we can get." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I'd like another ending, but I suspect no." | ||

| Krumar asks, "Did the stairs go down too?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I think they only went up." | ||
| DavidW says, "That game only took an hour. Any other short games we could play? Or we could just stop here." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "From the scrollback, yes, just up to the landing." | ||
| Krumar says, "I'm pretty surprised the game that never ends only took less than an hour." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah." | ||
| DavidW says, "well, you could got through room after room endlessly." | ||
| DavidW says, "I phrased that poorly" | ||
| Krumar says, "I would be up for another short one but I don't know how to choose a short one." | ||
| DavidW says, "Looking at CFS, we have already played Once Upon a Winter Night. That's the ragman game." | ||
| Krumar says, "Inside the Facility jumps out at me." | ||
| DavidW says, "Most of the others are longer than an hour." | ||
| Krumar says, "OK." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Huh, I recalled it being just "the ragman etc", but yes, that is the first part of the name." | ||
