The '''5th anniversary''' Metalab '''text''' adventure!

Let's you ~~literally~~ '''literally''' explore the location. You'll know your way around even before you've ever set a foot into the Metalab!

Let's you '''literally''' explore the location retro style. You'll know your way around even before you've ever set a foot into the real Metalab!

== What? ==

I stumbled upon another unique scripting language today: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inform Inform 7]. What makes it special is that the instructions read like a '''natural language'''. I am fascinated. It rocks!

Chapter 1 - Awakening in the Lounge

Part 1 -

When play begins, say "You wake up with a headache.

The room is gently spinning around your head."

The Lounge is a room. "Media, games and smoking room. The exit is to the south."

There is a couch in the Lounge. The couch is enterable and fixed in place.

The description is "It's dirty and there are footprints on it."

A table is here. The description is "It's a classic from IKEA."

A netbook is on the table. The description is

"It's your netbook. Gibson's Ono-Sendai looks like a kid's toy compared to your netbook."

The ashtray is on the table. The table is fixed in place.

Instead of taking the table, say "Naa, this table has found it's place already."

The couch can be sat on.

The Player is on the couch.

An ashtray is on the table.

A lighter is on the table. The description is "Its big, transparent and looks empty."
