> Start Game



You are this PERSON. Your name is MARK. You have no idea where you are. In the room is a BOX, a VENT, and a DOOR. You blindly assume you should get out. After all, it is rather boring inside here. What do you do?

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Jump through vent.



It's probably a good idea to jump through the VENT, but you aren't really tall enough to reach properly. Besides, the VENT is made of METAL, and the gaps are too small to get through.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Open box.



Since it's there in plain sight, you decide to open the BOX. You pull out a KNIFE, a BOOK, some BLUEPRINTS, and two COLOURED GLASS PIECES and then drop them all on the floor. They don't look too useful.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Put the COLOURED GLASS PIECES in your pocket.



You would put the COLOURED GLASS PIECES in your pocket, but you don't seem to have any pockets. Instead, you place them in your new INVENTORY. You have no idea where the objects are stored, but they seem readily accessible.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Stand on the box and use the knife to open the vent.



You close the BOX, then stand on it. You grab the KNIFE and use it to unscrew and remove the VENT COVER from the wall. You drop the VENT COVER on the floor.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Use vent cover to break the door.



You grab the VENT COVER and try to use it to break down the DOOR. It seems to be jammed, and you aren't strong enough to break it or knock it open.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Use glass pieces and cut the blueprints to make a pair of sweet glasses.



You pick up the BLUEPRINTS and then realize that since they are flimsy paper, they would make absolutely terrible glasses. You knife up the BLUEPRINTS in frustration, and then put the pieces in your inventory just in case you can put them back together again. You sure screwed that up.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Will the knife undo the screws to the lock on the door?



You look closely and realize that there's no lock. The door must be shut some other way. It's most likely jammed. It would have to be very jammed to resist the force you're putting it through.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: GO THROUGH VENT.



You use the box to climb up into the opened vent. By some technological miracle, you crouch inside the vent. Wow, you've finally got out of that damn room that you only spent a few conscious minutes in! Now you've got to deal with whatever's on the other side.

[Kizzi]

> Room 2



You jump down onto a MATTRESS, which is where you are presently standing. Behind you is the VENT from where you came. You can see a BOOKSHELF complete with a wide array of BOOKS, and another god-damn BOX. What now?

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Try working your way through the books for info!



You look through the BOOKSHELF and it's VARIOUS TITLES. You pull out a book called Deep Access Acceleration. This looks like a good informative read for later.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: walk to the box and open it



You stash the book into the last slot of your inventory, and then walk over and open the second BOX you've seen today. You pull out a WRISTBAND, a MATCHBOX, and some sort of VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER. You can't fight your way out of here with this!

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Find pistol in box



A pistol might be somehow useful in the present situation. Lets see, what else is in that box... AAARRRGHH GET IT OFF ME AAARRRGHH GOD-DAMN BOXES!

[Kizzi]

> Mark: walk to the book shelf and move it to the left



You give the BOOKSHELF your best push, but get no reward other than several precious books falling all over the floor. That was guaranteed to happen. You have no idea why you did something so obviously stupid in the first place. This is almost as embarrassing as nearly suffocating in that god-damn box.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Have a lie down on the mattress!



Ah, the refreshing comfort of a well maintained and tended MATTRESS. You wonder what anyone could've possible maintained and tended this MATTRESS with in this weird place.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Tear open the mattress



You feel a slight bump underneath you. After extracting the KNIFE from your inventory you efficiently slice a hole in the mattress without second thought. Is that a BOTTLE?

[Kizzi]

> Mark: take the bottle!



You pull out the bottle. It is a bottle of military-grade bed-spring OIL. No wonder that mattress was polished to perfection. Oh, wait, this is OIL, not polish. Anyway, this should be pretty useful soon.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Wear wristband



You put on the bright red WRISTBAND, which is a convenient placeholder to carry around small items which won't fit in your now-full inventory. For example, your KNIFE. This could not possibly go wrong in any way.

[Kizzi]

> Mark: Put some oil around the edge of the door in room 1!



You climb back through the VENT into the first room, and carefully apply some OIL to the DOOR HINGES. As you lean slightly on the door, you feel your STRENGTH increase exponentially. Either that or the oil is working.
