ROOM I, SCENE I

You find yourself surrounded by darkness. You feel a strong wind and tight shoes around your feet. There is a CANDLE and a SCROLL in front of you.

Possible commands are INVENTORY, USE, READ.

$ READ SCROLL

It is too dark to read

$ USE CANDLE

What to use it with?

$ INVENTORY

In your pocket, you find a box of MATCHES.

$ USE MATCHES CANDLE | USE CANDLE MATCHES

You light a match and light the candle with it

$ READ SCROLL

"You might have lost the way and goal
The way to know is to see all whole

To grow in meaningful extent
Read out the spell below's content

WALK through the opening in space
take your time, it's not a race"

There is a SPELL attached to the scroll.

$ READ SPELL

As you read out the magic spell, a PORTAL made out of energy opens.

$ WALK | WALK PORTAL

You trip. You fall. You realize that you are wearing roller blades. You cannot walk. You can only ROLL.

$ ROLL PORTAL

You roll through the portal.

Or does the portal roll through you? Or is it the room that rolls through the portal? Or does the portal you through the roll on the room... ...

ROOM I, SCENE II

You find yourself surrounded by darkness. You feel a mild breeze. There is a CANDLE and a SCROLL in front of you.

$ USE MATCHES CANDLE | USE CANDLE MATCHES

You light a match and light the candle with it

$ READ SCROLL

"You are a closer match to clarity
Lack of attention your only enemy

PLAY with the shadow of the light
Revive this tale when the time is right:

The freeest monarch of the wind pounced,
at a double-quad-limbed creep,
whilst your best friend's ancestors sing."

$ PLAY SCROLL

You play with the scroll but it is neither fun nor productive.

$ PLAY CANDLE

You can produce the following shadow puppets: WOLF, ELK, EAGLE, SPIDER, GOOSE

$ [WRONG CHOICE]

The light flickers, the candle nearly extinguishes and then returns to burning normally. THIS WAS THE WRONG CHOICE.

$ [CORRECT CHOICE (order is: EAGLE, SPIDER, WOLF)]

The light burns brighter. THIS WAS THE CORRECT CHOICE.

$ [FINAL CORRECT CHOICE]

As you play out the magic sequence, the room turns light and heat into a PORTAL.

You keep rolling. The portal changes things.

"As the mind receives increase
Thoughts must expand

FALL through the final phase
Truth is not brought by your own hand"

There is a SPELL attached to the scroll

$ READ SPELL

As you read out the magic spell, a PORTAL made out of energy opens.

You throw yourself at the portal. You fall to the ground.
Nothing.
Nothing changed. It is all the same.

$ ROLL | ROLL PORTAL

As you roll through the portal, ...
Nothing.
Nothing changed. It is all the same.

$ WALK | WALK PORTAL

You try to walk. You trip. You fall.

And it all comes back to you.
