Floyd |
Floyd | You are running for your life down dark, labyrinthine corridors, your
Floyd | heart pounding almost as loudly as the heavy boots of your relentless
Floyd | pursuer. But your legs are collapsing under you, your breaths coming in
Floyd | ragged gasps. At the last, strength fails you and you collapse
Floyd | face-down upon the unforgiving concrete. Cold hands grasp your neck,
Floyd | hauling you upright, forcing your unwilling eyes open to gaze into the
Floyd | hard, cruel, familiar face of your captor - and you scream with the
Floyd | horrible recognition that those twisted features are your own.
Floyd |
Floyd | You are still screaming when you awaken in sweat-drenched clothes,
Floyd | deeply relieved that it was only a dream. Yet something is not right.
Floyd | Why does the darkness beyond the window look so threatening? Why do the
Floyd | sounds of the night bear such menace? Indeed, why are you in such
Floyd | constant...

Floyd | Bedroom (on the bed)
Floyd | This first-floor room is almost uncomfortably warm and well-lit. The
Floyd | bed sits against the east wall, and curtains cover the windows to the
Floyd | south. A calendar hangs from a hook on one wall, and the exit is to the
Floyd | north.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the bedside table are a pillbox (which is closed) (in which are nine
Floyd | white pills), a small leaflet and a telephone.

Floyd | If you're new to the interactive fiction genre, the game will respond
Floyd | to short English phrases such as GO NORTH and GET PILLBOX FROM TABLE.
Floyd |
Floyd | There is an extensive help system which gives progressively more
Floyd | explicit hints and contains the solutions to all puzzles in the game,
Floyd | should you get stuck. To access it, type HELP. To disable it for the
Floyd | current game, type HELP OFF.

jerith has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. DavidW says, "oh good. There is in-game help."
inky says, "hunh, support for about"
DavidW says, "More pills, I see. Had enough of pills from last week."
Jacqueline asks (of inky), "What? You don't expect that from a 1996 game?"
inky says (to Floyd), "x leaflet"
Floyd | A folded piece of paper printed in annoyingly small lettering.
Floyd | It reads:
Floyd |
Floyd | Cyclazone (R) - Antidepressant
Floyd |
Floyd | Dosage - one pill every twenty-four hours or until symptoms clear.
Floyd | Effects slowly increase over the first twelve hours. UNDER NO
Floyd | CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD RECOMMENDED DOSAGE EVER BE EXCEEDED.
Floyd |
Floyd | Possible rare side effects - mild disorientation, temporary amnesia,
Floyd | partial loss of coordination. Do not drive motor vehicles while under
Floyd | treatment.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mode of action - (from here on, the leaflet consists largely of
Floyd | arcane biochemical terminology which you find incomprehensible.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Amnesia, eh? You wonder just what possessed you to take part in the
Floyd | first trial of an experimental drug. To your horror, you can't recall.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel suddenly claustrophobic as you hear a rustling nearby. What
Floyd | lurks in the shadows, waiting to pounce?
