Wodehouse Walkthrough of "A Comedy of Error Messages": ----------------------------------- -Note: There are three 'successful' endings. The walkthrough will give separate instructions where these diverge from each other. -Another note: There are some fun 'secrets' that are not necessary to complete the game. A few of those are highlighted at the end of this walkthrough. -A third (and final) note: There are some cool/interesting deaths and failures these are marked with an X followed by a number (ex: drop folder (X2)) where they branch off from the main story. They are marked with the same sign down at the bottom of this document, with instructions on how to 'achieve' them (ex: (X2) links to X2 The End of the World) From the beginning: 0 create your character (this should take about three steps) 1 press space 2 inventory 3 examine uneasiness 4 north 5 south 6 northwest 7 read log 8 press space 9 press space 10 inventory 11 examine fear 12 look 13 southeast 14 up 15 up 16 up 17 talk to router-daemon 18 pull gold lever 19 north 20 south 21 turn on alarm clock 22 look 23 up 24 down 25 down 26 down 27 north 28 south 29 northwest 30 read drafts 30 southeast 31 down 33 north 34 take sword 35 take coin 36 south 37 kill hare 38 inventory 39 examine hide 40 west 41 talk to crone 42 give coin to crone 43 east 44 up 45 open documents 46 read readme 47 examine virus (X1) 48 take folder 49 down 50 drop folder (X2) 51 look 52 up 53 read error window 54 down 55 north 56 south 57 up 58 east 59 east 60 west 61 west 62 up 63 up 64 up 65 pull gold lever 66 north 67 south 68 up 69 talk to router-daemon 70 pull bronze lever 71 east 72 hack machine OR put bug in machine 73 east 74 north 75 examine plastic figure 76 inventory 77 west 78 west 79 talk to mailer-daemon 80 east 81 east 82 read Ma's email 83 read Watts' email 84 read Grant's email 85 put an email for Grant in Watts' Inbox 86 north 87 put an email for Watts in Grant's Inbox ----divergence---- *For ending 1: 88 wait around 89 west 90 west 91 north 92 south 93 west (X3) 94 eject mountain dew **For ending 2: 88 south 89 south 90 put an email for Ma in Ma's Inbox 91 inventory 92 west 93 up 94 down 95 down 96 north 97 northwest 98 in 99 put search term on pedestal 100 'Ma' 101 take link 102 out 103 southeast 104 south 105 east 106 northeast 107 southwest 108 east 109 take friendship icon 110 west 111 northeast 112 drop icon 113 wait around ***For ending 3: 88 south 89 south 90 put an email for Ma in Ma's Inbox 91 inventory 92 west 93 up 94 down 95 down 96 north 97 northwest 98 in 99 put search term on pedestal 100 'Ma' 101 take link 102 put search term on pedestal 103 take link 104 out 105 southeast 106 south 107 east 108 northeast 109 east 110 west 111 southwest 112 east 113 take friendship icon 114 west 115 northeast 116 drop icon 117 southwest 118 southeast 119 take friendship icon 120 northwest 121 northeast 122 east 123 drop icon 124 wait around ----SECRETS----(all these assume you're starting from the beginning of the game) *Talk to Cory Doctorow: 1 press space 2 up 3 up 4 inside 5 talk to Cory Doctorow 6 talk to Cory Doctorow 7 talk to Cory Doctorow *Test out the AntiVirus program: 1 press space 2 open documents 3 examine virus 4 take documents 5 up 6 up 7 up 8 pull bronze lever 9 drop documents 10 inventory *Use the Encyclopedia: 1 press space 2 up 3 southwest 4 examine librarian 5 talk to librarian 6 ask librarian about realms of realmland 7 ask librarian about vague uneasiness 8 ask librarian about social network *Angry Birds: 1 press space 2 up 3 up 4 up 5 pull gold 6 turn on alarm 7 look 8 examine bird 9 take bird 10 up 11 wait 12 wait 13 pull bronze 14 release bird ----DEATHS----(numbering starts after the step where the death diverges from the successful path) X1 Don't Touch: 48 take the virus X2 The End of the World: 51 wait 52 wait 53 wait 54 wait 55 wait X3 The Wrong Soda: 94 eject diet pepsi
