Before you start to play this adventure, read the documentation thoroughly
|
|
so that you have an idea of what is going on and who you are.
|
|
|
|
The game itself is very strange. There are actually very few problems. A
|
|
lot of the adventure is a mapping exercise!
|
|
|
|
PART ONE.
|
|
You start the adventure just after your awakening, being told by Perelman
|
|
that the simulation to test the plan can begin soon. Note the various
|
|
communications outlets at your disposal.
|
|
|
|
"PEOF"; you are now in Perelman's office. "Wait" till Perelman says you can
|
|
now enter simulation mode. The Social Science group wants you to record
|
|
several things which are listed for you. "Enter simulation"; use the code
|
|
wheel from the packaging and you find yourself 10 years in the future in
|
|
Kennedy Park.
|
|
|
|
This first section is to familiarise yourself with recording and also to
|
|
let you map the area. This map will form the basis for other future
|
|
simulations. In some cases, there are several ways to record the
|
|
information required in this simulation eg eating a meal in a restaurant,
|
|
as there are several you can visit. If your record buffer should fill
|
|
before you have recorded everything you want, just "abort, PEOF, ask
|
|
Perelman to look at recordings" and when he returns, he will tell you want
|
|
else he wants recorded.
|
|
|
|
The recording required are as follows.
|
|
(1)Eating a meal in a restaurant. Go to one, eg Roy's Pagoda. "Record on,
|
|
buy meal, record off".
|
|
(2) Talking to a government official. Go to City Hall, "record on, talk to
|
|
official, record off".
|
|
(3) Visiting a power-generating facility. Go into the power station,
|
|
"record on, look, record off". (4) Reading a newspaper. Go to Bodanski
|
|
Square, "buy newspaper, record on, read newspaper, record off".
|
|
(5) Riding some form of public transportation. Go down into the tube
|
|
system, wait till a tubecar arrives. "Record on, enter tubecar, wait" till
|
|
the tubecar stops, "leave tubecar, record off".
|
|
(6) Attending a court in session. Go into the court. "Record on, look,
|
|
record off".
|
|
(7) Talking to a church official. Go into a church eg St Michael's, "record
|
|
on, talk to elder, record off".
|
|
(8) Going to a movie. Go to the cinema , "record on, buy ticket, in, record
|
|
off". (9) Visiting your own home or living quarters. "Inventory, open
|
|
wallet, read licence"; you now know your address is Parkview Appartments,
|
|
Southway. Go there, "unlock door, w, unlock door, record on, n, look,
|
|
record off".
|
|
|
|
"Abort, PEOF, ask Perelman to look at recordings". So long as you have
|
|
recorded all the things required, he will tell you that the experts are
|
|
pleased and it looks as though the Plan will be adopted. As a result of
|
|
your recordings, more accurate simulations will be possible in future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PART 2.
|
|
At the start of this section, you will be asked to do some psych tests.
|
|
This is just a bit of fun, the answers don't mean anything so you can reply
|
|
whatever you want!
|
|
|
|
In a while, Perelman tells you the plan has been recommended for full
|
|
adoption in a few weeks. But he says he has a funny feeling about it. If
|
|
you "enter simulation mode" now, you can go to either 10 or 20 years into
|
|
the future. So go into 20 (2051).
|
|
|
|
If you have a look around, you will see several things have changed and the
|
|
situation seems to be deteriorating. Record anything like this that you can
|
|
see and every so often, return and show them to Perelman. If he wants more
|
|
recordings, go back into the simulation. Some things you can do are: "look"
|
|
at Rockvil Reformatory, talk to the elder in the church, read a newspaper.
|
|
Go to the old station, it is now the Church of God's Word. "Look" there and
|
|
read the pamphlet. Visit the soup kitchen, Heiman's World, the police
|
|
station, your own appartment. Go to Huang Hall, the city dump, skycar
|
|
factory, courthouse.
|
|
|
|
When you have spent enough time in the simulation and recorded enough, you
|
|
will find a new simulation, 30 years into the future, is available. Do the
|
|
same here (2061). Some useful recording for 2061 are: spend some time in
|
|
your appartment and have a good look round, the soup kitchen, the city
|
|
dump, the skycar factory, Church Street Park, the Health Centre, the
|
|
church, read the pamphlet in the Church of God's Word, visit the school,
|
|
the stadium, the reformatory and Huang Hall. Go to Kennedy Park and the
|
|
airport terminal. Various incidents also happen on the streets.
|
|
|
|
In a similar way, spending time and recording enough here will open a 40
|
|
year simulation into 2071. Again, record changes and things that happen in
|
|
the street. Visit your appartment, the zoo, read the banner in the zoo, go
|
|
to the aquarium, fire station, stadium, bank, athletic field, airport,
|
|
cinema.
|
|
|
|
These are just some of the places you can go in each simulation.
|
|
Eventually, Perelman asks you to visit the last simulation in 2081, 50
|
|
years in the future, to see if everything turns around. This simulation is
|
|
very small and dangerous. Go into the inn, onto the bridge over the river,
|
|
examine the sack there, get eaten by dogs, or killed when you enter certain
|
|
locations.
|
|
Show these recordings to Perelman. He says the plan must be cancelled and
|
|
he's going to Washington!
|
|
|
|
PART 3.
|
|
At the start of this section, you're informed that a WNNF device is about
|
|
to be added to your auxiliary systems and will be online in 4 or 5 hours.
|
|
Perelman returns and tells you that he's been accused of faking the
|
|
recordings. He goes to meet some colleagues. There is also a message given
|
|
to you that the complex has been sealed for security reasons.
|
|
|
|
"PEOF" and "wait" in Perelman's office. When Ryder enters, "record on"; you
|
|
make a recording of him threatening Perelman. Then Perelman is taken away.
|
|
|
|
Now go to the roof with "RCRO". "Wait" till some men arrive. "Enter
|
|
interface mode" and "HVAC controller, turn off ventilation in delta
|
|
sector". "Enter communications mode, MACO"; in a while, the men arrive and
|
|
start working on one of the conditioning units that house your brain.
|
|
Eventually, the build up of fumes caused by you turning off the ventilation
|
|
causes them to pass out. This saves you from being killed.
|
|
|
|
Now wait till the WNN feeder is active (check by entering interface mode
|
|
and looking at the active ports). When it is, "WNN feeder, transmit record
|
|
buffer, enter communication mode, WNNF"; you see your recording of Ryder
|
|
threatening Perelman being broadcast, thus discrediting Ryder and his
|
|
Plan!
|
|
|
|
Wait till Perelman contacts you telling you Ryder has fled. The plan has
|
|
been cancelled and you're a hero!
|
|
|
|
You now have one final simulation to enter and enjoy..........
