"Phantom of the Arcade 2: Shadows, Darkness, and Dread" - A Text Adventure

[Empireth]

Well, I must give some late congratulations to all the people who have worked on this. (Late being after I finished the game last night, my internet wouldn't work.)
Certainly there were some challenging puzzles to solve, but all text adventures have them. Hell, if you want interesting and challenging puzzles, check out the very first text adventure (Conveniently called "Adventure" or "Collosal Cave Adventure" [that might be spelt wrong.])
This was a nice little game for the amount of time it's supposed to take players, though, as someone who is currently messing about with Inform 7 and other text adventures, I was a little disappointed that Emily wouldn't respond to anything I tried to say to her. Oh well.

But really, congrats to all who worked on it, it was well worth my time!

So close and yet so far:

Spoiler

Stupid question: what to tie Emily to ? Any item is either not possible, either refused, I even tried tieing her up to me.

Why would you want to?

Just go finish the game, you'll see

Because I already have the bad ending, I want to get the good one this time.

Spoiler

Or is there another way to defend against emily ?
I tried saving the bone by giving the dog the raincoat, but seems the raincoat is absolutely needed by the machine.

Or more exactly:

Spoiler

What to do with that handkerchief ? I can't find it any use for it.

Why would you want to?

Female intuition that I don't trust little girls in scary places.

Why would you want

Spoiler

the bone?

Because it mentionned earlier that it could be useful as a weapon to defend myself.

You're one of those people who go out and save rocks from the forest, ain't you?

No I'm more the type "if it wants to kill me, I should knock it out before it has a chance to do so".

Just have it in your inventory

Ok, thanks.

Finally finished the good ending, 65/65 in 53 steps. *happy*

Can't seem to get those last five points...
Anyways,great game!I really used to like those text based games in the 80/90s,so this is a great tribute!I know it's late,but great job!

 

[LewsTherin]

Victory was achieved. 60/65.

The good ending still makes me a sad, sad, panda.

 

[Max-Vader]

Yay, I did it. Talk about a lose-lose-situation. If you lose, you die and if you win, you're a horrible person.

 

[Podunk]

That was a lot of fun. Not obnoxiously convoluted like most text puzzle games. I didn't even think to pick up the parts list after looking at it. If you ended the game 5 points short, that's probably why.(Sorry if that's a spoiler, but it's not like it's a puzzle or anything.)

But I guess I missed the Bananaphone everyone is talking about? What's up with that?

 

[Lusperus]

How do I get the stuffing from the poodle?

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

How do I get the stuffing from the poodle?

You must distract the dog first. I wonder what dogs like the most?

It's a bananaphone, should be pretty obvious what's up with it.

Spoiler

There's a place which you get chased away from at one point, go back there and you find something quite amazing.

 

[Lusperus]

Got it! Just worded it wrong.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

Got it in 140 moves (The good ending that is) and on 60 points! this was my first text adventure game, and i gotta say, it was actually hard (Cos i didnt know the words to use)

 

[AT God]

Okay, I don't want to have to ask but I cannot figure out the command to break the glass, I know what to do I don't know how to do it.

Nevermind

 

[AT God]

Now I need the command to use control panel

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

65/65 In 89 turns. Mainly cause I didn't use the map, and have a bad memory. And tried every which way of picking up that bananananananaphone.
