Below is a transcript of Suveh Nux, written by David Fisher. Suveh Nux was originally released as part of the 2007 One Room Game competition, where it took first place. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki. WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page. |

Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | "Yes, master?" Floyd | Floyd | You rush to your master's side and await his instructions. He is Floyd | studying a fragile looking scroll and muttering to himself. Floyd | Floyd | He looks up and says, "Ah, there you are. This ..." -- he hands you the Floyd | scroll -- " ... goes back in the vault. I believe it is still open. And Floyd | this little beastie ..." -- he hands you a small, empty brass cage -- Floyd | "... goes back to my private quarters. Thank you, that will be all." Floyd | Floyd | You bow, and head downstairs to the vault. The heavy stone door is wide Floyd | open, and a golden key juts out of the lock. Floyd | Floyd | Without warning, someone shoves you roughly from behind. The scroll and Floyd | the brass cage fly out of your hands as you fall to the ground. There Floyd | is a loud "click", and everything turns black. Floyd | | maga asks, "no time limits? free-for-all?" | |||

| maga says (to Floyd), "about" | ||||
Floyd | Suveh Nux (version 1.1) by David Fisher Floyd | Floyd | This game was written for the 2007 One Room Game Competition, which may Floyd | explain the limited geography. It is a "puzzle" rather than a "story" Floyd | game; the aim is simply to escape from the vault. Floyd | Floyd | It is possible to die or make the game unfinishable, but a message will Floyd | be printed if you get into this kind of situation. Floyd | Floyd | Type "commands" for a list of commands that may be useful in this game. Floyd | Floyd | Hints Floyd | Floyd | Context sensitive hints may be accessed via the "hint" command. The Floyd | hints are numbered to show how many are available; "[1/3]" indicates Floyd | the first of three hints, for example. A warning is printed if the next Floyd | hint will give away the solution to a non-trivial problem. Floyd | Floyd | Hints may be disabled with the "hints off" command. Once disabled, they Floyd | may not be re-enabled again during the same game. Floyd | Floyd | To toggle printing of hints progressively (ie. to make the game print Floyd | all available hints at once), type "hints dump". This is not Floyd | recommended for normal play. Floyd | Floyd | Thinking Floyd | Floyd | A non-standard command available in this game is "think about", or "t" Floyd | for short. This does not necessarily give any useful information, but Floyd | you never know. It is not required for completion of the game. Floyd | Floyd | Notepad Floyd | Floyd | An inbuilt notepad may be used to take notes during the game. To add a Floyd | new note, start a line with "=". For example: Floyd | Floyd | =can't find the chicken Floyd | Floyd | Use "=" on a line by itself (or "notes") to read your notes so far. Floyd | Floyd | Each note is assigned a number, starting from 1. You can read an Floyd | individual note by typing its number, or change it by following the Floyd | number with "=" and the new text: Floyd | Floyd | 23=there is no chicken Floyd | Floyd | Lastly, you can erase a note by saying "erase" or "del/delete" followed Floyd | by its number (the rest of the notes are then renumbered). Floyd | Floyd | Typing Correction Floyd | Floyd | If an unknown word is entered, this game performs automatic typing Floyd | correction. This feature may be turned off if it is not required. Type Floyd | "mistype" on a line by itself for configuration options. Floyd | Floyd | Spelling Floyd | Floyd | The spelling may be changed from the default British English to Floyd | American English with the "spelling US" command. Floyd | Floyd | Type "credits" for copyright, contact and other information. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Well, yes, but will a free-for-all be bad?" | |||
| DavidW says, "Free for all should be fine." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "That's what I'm thinking." | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "commands" | ||||
Floyd | Some commands which may be useful in this game are:
Floyd |
Floyd | about -- game information.
Floyd | hint -- get a hint about what to do next ("h" for short).
Floyd | mistype -- typing correction options.
Floyd | spelling -- select British or American English.
Floyd | = or notes -- notepad (type "about" for more information).
Floyd |
Floyd | look -- look at your surroundings ("l" for short).
Floyd | examine -- look closely at an object ("x" for short).
Floyd | search, find -- look all around something, or look for something.
Floyd | inventory -- check what you are carrying ("i" for short).
Floyd | take -- pick something up.
Floyd | drop -- put something down.
Floyd | listen, touch, smell, taste -- use your various senses.
Floyd | north, up, out, etc. -- try going in a direction ("n" etc. for
Floyd | short).
Floyd | open, close -- open or shut something.
Floyd | wait -- do nothing ("z" for short).
Floyd | think about -- contemplate something ("t" for short).
Floyd |
Floyd | save, restore -- save or reload a game position.
Floyd | transcript, noscript -- start or stop writing the session to a file.
Floyd | record, replay -- record or replay all commands entered.
Floyd | restart -- start the game again.
Floyd | quit -- end the game ("q" for short).
Floyd | score, full score -- current score, or breakdown of score.
Floyd | oops <correction> -- correct a mistake ("o" for short).
Floyd | again -- repeat the last command ("g" for short).
Floyd | undo -- undo the last command.
Floyd |
Floyd | Many other commands are available as well. For a longer list, see
Floyd | http://dfisher.serverspeople.net/if2.html.

| Jacqueline says, "You won't get killed by the timed puzzles or make it unwinnable, but if it starts to annoy you, then you can designate someone." | |||
| maga says (to Floyd), "think about master" | ||||
Floyd | (It is not quite as dark as you thought. A sliver of light under the Floyd | door provides a tiny amount of light, and your eyes begin to adjust to Floyd | the near darkness ...) Floyd | Floyd | Your master is kind, but a little forgetful sometimes. He spends most Floyd | of his time poring over ancient manuscripts. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "think about me" | ||||
Floyd | You're pretty content with your life. Your master is kind and you have Floyd | freedom of movement in and out of the house. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "think about vault" | ||||
Floyd | It's not that small, really ... the air should last for a while. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x door" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see the door too well. There is a sliver of light coming in Floyd | from under it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "l" | ||||
Floyd | Vault Floyd | There is plenty of room to move around, and the ceiling is quite high. Floyd | You can just make out a shelf along one of the walls. Floyd | Floyd | On the floor you can faintly see a brass cage and a scroll. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x cage" | ||||
Floyd | You can barely make out the brass cage sitting on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | It seems to have fallen open. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "think about cage" | ||||
Floyd | Wonder what was inside it. Floyd | Floyd | Something brushes past your foot. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "take scroll" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x scroll" | ||||
Floyd | It's a fragile scroll. It is too dark to read what is on it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x shelf" | ||||
Floyd | The shelf seems to have some objects on it, but you can't clearly make Floyd | them out. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "touch shelf" | ||||
Floyd | You stretch out your hand and feel your way along the shelf ... there Floyd | is a piece of parchment, what feels like a leather bound book, a Floyd | crystal or gemstone of some kind ... Floyd | Floyd | Clunk! You knock over a small vial of liquid, which glows briefly with Floyd | a dull green light. The glow soon fades away. Floyd | Floyd | You noticed that the vial had a stopper, so nothing was spilled. Floyd | (Fortunately for you; your master may have been upset if it had). Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "take vial" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Who else has played besides me and DW?" | |||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x vial" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see it very well in the dark. It only glowed for a brief Floyd | time. Floyd | Floyd | You feel something nibbling on your shoe. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "shake vial" | ||||
Floyd | You give the vial of liquid a vigorous shake, and it starts to glow Floyd | with a faint, phosphorescent green light -- enough to get a better look Floyd | at your surroundings. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by 10%.] Floyd | Floyd | [Type "full score" at any time for a breakdown of your score.] Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "me" | |||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x book" | ||||
Floyd | The front cover of the book has the word "SPELLS" written vertically Floyd | down the left side in silver letters. Floyd | Floyd | You glimpse the words "Pleasing Effects" before the glow fades too much Floyd | to read the rest of the title. The letters in silver remain visible. Floyd | Floyd | [To read the book, say "next/prev", "page <number>", or "open/close Floyd | book".] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "shake vial" | ||||
Floyd | You give the vial of liquid another shake, and it briefly glows a Floyd | little brighter. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "l" | ||||
Floyd | Vault Floyd | You view your surroundings by the dull green glow of the liquid ... Floyd | Floyd | On the shelf you can see a leather bound book, a piece of parchment and Floyd | a crystal or gemstone. Floyd | Floyd | On the floor is an open brass cage. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "take all from shelf" | ||||
Floyd | leather bound book: Removed. Floyd | piece of parchment: Removed. Floyd | crystal or gemstone: Removed. Floyd | Floyd | Something brushes past you again. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "read book" | ||||
Floyd | The front cover of the book has the word "SPELLS" written vertically Floyd | down the left side in silver letters. There is some other writing as Floyd | well, but it's too dark to make out. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "shake vial" | ||||
Floyd | You give the vial of liquid another shake, and it glows a little Floyd | brighter again. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "read book" | ||||
Floyd | The front cover of the book has the word "SPELLS" written vertically Floyd | down the left side in silver letters. Floyd | Floyd | You glimpse the words "Pleasing Effects" before the glow fades too much Floyd | to read the rest of the title. The letters in silver remain visible. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "next" | ||||
Floyd | The first page says "Suveh Nux" down the left side in silver letters. Floyd | There is some other writing as well, but it's too dark to make out. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "suveh nux" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Suveh nux". Floyd | Floyd | The room is suddenly filled with light. Floyd | Floyd | You briefly feel something small standing on your foot. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by 10%.] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "yay" | |||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x floor" | Jacqueline says, "woo" | |||
Floyd | The floor is solid stone, just like the walls and the door. Floyd | Floyd | On the floor is an open brass cage. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "next" | ||||
Floyd | The second page says: Floyd | Floyd | Ancient races such as the Meohan, a Floyd | very sophisticated and reasonable Floyd | ethnic group indeed, possessed Floyd | horological devices of such accurate Floyd | Timing that they could predict Floyd | imminent eclipses, conjunctions Floyd | and other such astronomical phenomena. Floyd | Floyd | The first letter in each line is written in silver, spelling "Aveh Floyd | Tia". Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "It took me a lot longer to get to that." | |||
| maga says (to Floyd), "aveh tia" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh tia". Floyd | Floyd | The room becomes hot. Floyd | Floyd | Something briefly tugs at your trousers and then lets go. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Yeah, me too." | |||
| (from Jacqueline) inky says, "Huh. Not me. I got it on the first turn." | ||||
| inky says, "hee hee" | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "next" | ||||
Floyd | The third page says: Floyd | Floyd | Another highly developed race of antiquity, Floyd | vanquished by the Meohan, were the Sundar -- Floyd | exquisite workers in metal, gemstones and Floyd | heated glass. Their susceptibility to the Floyd | Meohan's warlike methods was only due to Floyd | a civil war between rival noble families, Floyd | devastating the nation's standing army Floyd | at a very inopportune time; their enemies Floyd | had a distinct numerical advantage as a result. Floyd | Floyd | The first letter in each line is written in silver, spelling "Aveh Floyd | Madah". Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "aveh madah" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh madah". Floyd | Floyd | You feel heavy and weighed down. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "g" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh madah". Floyd | Floyd | You briefly feel a bit heavier. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "next" | ||||
Floyd | The fourth page says: Floyd | Floyd | Sundaresi manufacturing techniques should not be Floyd | underestimated. They were experts in shaping Floyd | very large blocks of marble or granite, which the Floyd | evidence suggests were used for constructing Floyd | huge, elaborate tombs for their deceased rulers. Floyd | Sundar stone shaping involved making the stone Floyd | extremely cold with buckets of ice imported from Floyd | nearby Aoeteria, and then rapidly heating the Floyd | stone with an intense blaze, which would split Floyd | it along the desired fault line. Floyd | Floyd | The first letter in each line is written in silver, spelling "Suveh Floyd | Sensi". Floyd | Floyd | Something nibbles on your shoe. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "suveh sensi" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Suveh sensi". Floyd | Floyd | Your emotions feel confused. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "next" | ||||
Floyd | The fifth page says: Floyd | Floyd | Anatomy, Physiology and Biology were among the Floyd | various subjects studied and perfected by the Floyd | ethnic group known jointly as the Andira, who Floyd | had more than a passing understanding of the Floyd | Holistic nature of such endeavours. Medical Floyd | advances of various and sundry kinds were Floyd | invented by this group, and it must certainly be Floyd | acknowledged that much of their skill and the Floyd | knowledge they possessed far exceeds our own. Floyd | Floyd | The first letter in each line is written in silver, spelling "Aveh Floyd | Haiak". Floyd | Floyd | You feel something brush against you again. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "aveh haiak" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh haiak". Floyd | Floyd | Your hands start feeling sticky. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "next" | ||||
Floyd | The sixth page says: Floyd | Floyd | Ancient mathematics included concepts such as the Floyd | value of pi, the square root of two, and other Floyd | esoteric numbers; calculus and trigonometry; and Floyd | how to prove things in a rigorous, logical fashion. Floyd | Numbers in the Laodian culture were formed Floyd | using admirably simple rules (historian Floyd | x's claims to the contrary notwithstanding): Floyd | A value is doubled by prefixing it with "ma"; Floyd | no value but zero ends with this syllable. If Floyd | it is prefixed with "to", double and add one. Floyd | "Matoto", for example, represents the number six, Floyd | as this is twice "toto", the number three; and Floyd | "to" alone is of course unity. It seems that no Floyd | other culture used this kind of representation. Floyd | Floyd | The first letter in each line is written in silver, spelling "Aveh Nux Floyd | Ani Mato". Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "on my first playthrough I made it dark and couldn't figure out how to get back to where I'd started" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "huh." | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "aveh nux ani mato" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh nux ani mato", and you feel a tingling sensation. Nothing Floyd | unpleasant, but it is a bit strange. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "next" | ||||
Floyd | The rest of the pages seem to be blank. You turn back to page six. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Antici-" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Other people than maga can play, of course..." | ||||
| maga says, "okay. so we have: light, warm, heat, weigh down, confuse emotions, tingly mysterious effect, sticky hands" | ||||
| Raenssler says (to floyd), "x scroll" | ||||
Floyd | The scroll is written in your master's hand in a familiar script, but Floyd | you cannot read what it says. Perhaps it is some kind of shorthand or Floyd | private code. You don't have much hope of interpreting it. Floyd | Floyd | The light suddenly goes out, and you are in darkness once again. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "-pation" | |||
| Raenssler says (to floyd), "suveh nux" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Suveh nux". Floyd | Floyd | The room is filled with light. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Raenssler says (to floyd), "x parchment" | ||||
Floyd | The parchment is written in a script you are not familiar with. In the Floyd | centre is an illustration of a man holding a teardrop shaped object and Floyd | pointing his finger at a table. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x door" | ||||
Floyd | The door is made from solid stone, and it looks strong and heavy. Floyd | Floyd | Something briefly sticks to your shoe. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x shoe" | ||||
Floyd | Your shoes are black and shiny, and they have some small nibble marks Floyd | on them. Floyd | Floyd | They feel a little sticky. Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says, "so presumably there is an invisible beastie about" | |||
| DavidW says, "yes" | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a clear crystal Floyd | a piece of parchment Floyd | a leather bound book Floyd | a vial of liquid with a cork stopper Floyd | a scroll Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "x crystal" | ||||
Floyd | A perfectly clear crystal with many facets, about the size of your fist Floyd | and shaped like a teardrop. The light dances beautifully across its Floyd | surface. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "point at door" | ||||
Floyd | You point your finger at the vault door. Floyd | Floyd | The crystal hums briefly, and the word "fireno" dances in the air Floyd | before you in fiery letters. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "fireno" | ||||
Floyd | I don't know how to fireno. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "suveh nux fireno" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Suveh nux fireno". Floyd | Floyd | The vault door starts to glow. Floyd | Floyd | Something tickles your ankle. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by 10%.] Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says, "okay, so the crystal divines the magic name for things, and we can then cast spells on them" | |||
| DavidW says, "yup" | ||||
| maga says, "the door already says it's heavy; maybe that's a clue" | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "aveh madah fireno" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh madah fireno". Floyd | Floyd | You feel like something has happened. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "g" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh madah fireno". Floyd | Floyd | You feel like something didn't quite happen. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "(hm. Imagine having a similar crystal in The Gostak and getting the English for stuff.)" | |||
| Jacqueline smiles. | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "aveh nux ani mato fireno" | ||||
Floyd | You say "Aveh nux ani mato fireno", and you feel the tingling sensation Floyd | again. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "touch door" | ||||
Floyd | It doesn't feel sticky, but your hands are sticky. You have difficulty Floyd | removing your hands from it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Raenssler says (to floyd), "point at floor" | ||||
Floyd | You point your finger at the floor. Floyd | Floyd | The word "tolanisu" impresses itself on your mind. Floyd | Floyd | The vault door stops glowing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "point at cage" | ||||
Floyd | You point your finger at the brass cage. Floyd | Floyd | The word "imoentar" drifts into your consciousness. Floyd | Floyd | Something gets stuck to your foot then detaches itself. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Raenssler says (to floyd), "point at shoe" | ||||
Floyd | You point your finger at your shoes. Floyd | Floyd | The word "ami" appears in fiery letters before you. Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says, "I feel as if I should be taking notes" | |||
| DavidW says, "There's a note capability in the program." | ||||
| DavidW says, "also, I think 'ami' refers to you or any part thereof." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I found that to be really useful." | ||||
| maga says, "yeah, but it seems as if it'd be easier to do it by hand" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "In fact, I think David's making it into an extension." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I never actually used the note command. I used paper." | ||||
| maga says, "but if we do it on Floyd anyone can get to it, so let's try that" | ||||
| trikiw materializes. | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "= suveh nux : light" | ||||
Floyd | Noted. [1] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "=aveh tia : heat" | ||||
Floyd | [=aveh -> aveh] Floyd | You say "Aveh tia : heat", but it feels wrong somehow. Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says, "oops" | |||

Floyd | [weigh -> weight] Floyd | Noted. [3] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "That's that autocorrection thingy again, huh?" | |||
| DavidW asks, "Can we turn that off?" | ||||
| inky says, "oh yeah, I guess we can" | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "mistype" | ||||
Floyd | Commands for controlling automatic typing correction are: Floyd | Floyd | mistype off -- to turn off typing correction completely. Floyd | mistype single -- to correct single-letter errors only. Floyd | mistype on -- to turn on full typing correction. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "mistype off" | ||||
Floyd | [Automatic typing check is now off.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "= suveh sensi : confuse emotions?" | ||||
Floyd | [confuse -> confused] Floyd | Noted. [4] Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "although there's *floyd's* built-in corrections, and the game's" | |||
| inky says, "...bah" | ||||
| maga says (to Floyd), "= aveh haiak : make sticky?" | ||||
Floyd | [make -> take] Floyd | [sticky? -> sticky] Floyd | Noted. [5] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| trikiw has had its fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | DavidW asks, "So, you turned off the game's or Floyd's there?" | |||
| inky says, "the game's" | ||||
| inky says, "I don't think we know how to turn off floyd's" | ||||
| DavidW says, "grr" | ||||

Floyd | [door -> door] Floyd | [floor -> floor] Floyd | [cage -> cage] Floyd | [part -> pat] Floyd | Noted. [6] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "at least the notes are correct, though." | |||
| inky says, "so it's not actually making the corrections, effectively" | ||||
| inky says, "yeah" | ||||
| maga says, "so, I'm guessing that we need to trap the critter first" | ||||
| maga says, "stickiness seems to slow it down slightly, but not trap it" | ||||
| maga says, "either we need to lure it into the cage somehow, or make it visible so we can grab it with sticky hands" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Trapping the critter is actually optional. You get a better score and final outcome if it's caught, but I don't think it's strictly necessary to win." | ||||
