Good afternoon all!
This is my entry for the Commonplace Book competition. This is the first time I've used the TADS3 development environment and I must say that it was quite an interesting and rewarding experience. It allowed me to try a new game type as well as test our my creative writing chops (chops I haven't used since high school). I'm probably going to print out the technical manuals so I can have easy reference for future projects.
Anyway!
I based this on the 23rd idea in the Commonplace Book: The man who would not sleep—dares not sleep—takes drugs to keep himself awake. Finally falls asleep—and something happens.
I'd recommend listening to some tracks from the Silent Hill games to add to the mood. Completing the game will be easy, but try to get all of the points and interact act with the game objects appropriately.
Here's the intro to the game and the download link below. Thanks and good luck to everyone!
The ringing in your ears begins to fade into the calm wash of silence.
You awaken as if from a terrible sleep. Standing and brushing off your pants, you take in a deep breath. To your dismay, all you are able to take into your lungs is a stale lingering feeling that sticks to your insides like a humid film.
You don't remember how you got here. You strain your memory to no avail. The last thing you do remember was leaving your home to check on the situation outside. Your family was left behind and told to keep the door locked until they could clearly see you from the peephole.
You shake your head. You are dizzy and fatigued. You think to yourself, ''A way back home. That's what I'm looking for.''
