The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each
week at a pre-arranged time, a group of
people meet online to cooperatively play
a game of interactive fiction.
ANOTHER WARNING! A lot (most!) of the transcripts contained on this site are, shall we say, family-friendly. This is not one of those family-friendly transcripts. Just so we're clear.

| O'Tiz asks, "what game are we playing today?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We're going to play Unreal City." | ||
| O'Tiz says, "havent heard of it yet :)" | ||
| Roger says, "Possibly an allusion to Eliot's Waste Land, but maybe not" | ||
| Roger says, "Oh hunh:" | ||
| Roger | The phrase "Unreal City" is actually a reference to Charles Baudelaire, a 19th-century French poet whose collection, Fleurs du Mal (1857), brought light to the unsavory sexual practices and indulgent lifestyles of the poet's time | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So, assuming that Teaspoon's computer isn't broken... we'll get started here in a sec." | ||
| Roger says, "(from some commentary on Eliot's Waste Land)" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Roger), "Huh" | ||
| DavidW asks, "So we might be in for some oo-la-la?" | ||
| Jacqueline gets her 'Adult Content' warning ready for the transcript, in case she needs it. | ||
| Roger says, "Anything's possible" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask unrealcity" | ||

| Jacqueline | The rest of the city, the bar social ecosystem, the music and visuals, the ingratiating, the arguing, the dynamic quest system, the rival afterlife agents and all the rest of it have yet to be folded into this branch. | ||

Floyd | at least from an interpreter that cannot handle time effects. Those

Floyd | then probably be somewhat far from the game as intended by the author,

We briefly chatted at a reception that happened a few days before Floyd | the Floyd | launch. Floyd | Floyd | I have a favor to ask you, if you don't mind: the schoolteacher in my Floyd | son Floyd | Anthony's class (he's 9) asked them to find a famous person to whom Floyd | they Floyd | could write a letter and ask them a few questions. And you are a Floyd | famous Floyd | person, and all the kids know you, so I was wondering if by any chance Floyd | you would accept doing this. Of course, we will probably need to get Floyd | the Floyd | OK from our hierarchy, but I wanted to ask you first if you would Floyd | would like to do it... It'd mean a lot to him! Tell me what you Floyd | think. Floyd | Floyd | Best regards, Floyd | Mick Doherty Floyd | [that's cute, Mick, but I have other things on my mind right Floyd | now...] Floyd | [well, i'm sure that our hierarchy is minimizing what's going on Floyd | to everyone] Floyd | ["oh no, she's fine, she's just a bit sad"] Floyd | ["of course, send it to her, it'll take her mind off things"] Floyd | [people can't possibly understand what it represents] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | [Please press SPACE.] | DavidW says, "yeah, took me a bit to understand they were the PC's mental asides." | |

Floyd ] [Dr Diane Peters] (No Subject) Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | From: dianepeters@aresmail.com [Sun 16 Sept 2018 10:45 AM] Floyd | Floyd | Hello Charlotte, Floyd | [ah right, that email...] Floyd | Floyd | Recently, Colonel Klein paid me a visit, and he seemed very concerned Floyd | about your emotional state. He told me about a series of emails you Floyd | exchanged with him, in which you maintained having pushed a button in Floyd | the Floyd | shuttle just before the accident, which according to you was what Floyd | caused Floyd | the explosion. However, according to him, and the engineers under his Floyd | orders, it is impossible that you could have pushed this button. Floyd | [i may have reacted badly when I saw this email...] Floyd | Floyd | I'd like you to tell me what this memory means to you. It seems like Floyd | [when i read it again, she wasn't as aggressive as I thought] Floyd | it is something important, and that is likely carrying an emotional Floyd | meaning [but still, it's not very professional] Floyd | that must be heavy to carry in your situation. I would have liked it Floyd | if [you don't force your patient to talk about something Floyd | they don't want to talk about, right?] Floyd | you had told me about it earlier; it is possible that working on Floyd | this memory could help relieve your pain, and allow you to move Floyd | forward. Floyd | Floyd | I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is very much Floyd | possible that this memory does not correspond to an action that Floyd | actually Floyd | happened. The works of several psychologists have shown that memories Floyd | can [but is she telling the truth?] Floyd | be constructed and modified by the brain in certain situations, Floyd | including [or are Klein and the others pulling the Floyd | strings?] Floyd | situations of post-traumatic stress disorder. In your case, it could Floyd | represent an adaptation strategy that your brain adopted in response Floyd | to Floyd | this catastrophic event: the fact that it was accidental, Floyd | unforeseeable Floyd | and without any logic may be too much to take in. Which does not mean Floyd | that ["just make up an explanation, Dr Peters"] Floyd | you cannot function normally in other ways; it is a process that is Floyd | very ["something that sounds plausible, so that she gets that Floyd | idea out of her head"] Floyd | different from hallucinations or sensory malfunction, which are more Floyd | worrying symptoms. Floyd | Floyd | Waiting for your reply, Floyd | Take care of yourself, Floyd | Dr Diane Peters Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | [Please press SPACE.] | Teaspoon says, "five quid that we're going to be reliving that memory before the game's out" | |

Floyd | Floyd | I do not doubt that you are sincere, but think a little, will you?

Floyd ] (N) [UTEA] An unacceptable situation Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | From: uawunion@aresmail.com [Mon 17 Sept 2018 05:00 PM] Floyd | Floyd | Dear colleagues, Floyd | Floyd | Today, the United Aerospace Workers feel it is their responsibility Floyd | to Floyd | blow the whistle on the working conditions at Ares Space. Those Floyd | working Floyd | conditions are getting worse and worse, between unpaid hours of Floyd | overtime Floyd | and uncertainties surrounding the end-of-year bonus, as well as the Floyd | pressure the company is putting its employees under. Floyd | Floyd | We already attempted to draw the attention of workers and the media Floyd | to Floyd | those working conditions two months ago, shortly before the Floyd | catastrophe we Floyd | all know about. Ever since then, the working conditions have not Floyd | improved, Floyd | and have even gotten worse. We report and criticize the following Floyd | facts, Floyd | which appeared within the last six weeks: Floyd | - the constant changes in the workers' schedules; Floyd | - the older model of shuttle being brought back in the factory Floyd | without Floyd | any complementary training given to the workers, which also puts Floyd | new Floyd | entrants at a disadvantage; Floyd | - the contradictory orders and constant reconfiguration of the Floyd | missions Floyd | (order, content, durations, etc.), which betrays a clear lack of Floyd | organization for the last six weeks; Floyd | - inadequate psychological support and follow-up provided to Floyd | employees. Floyd | This also adds to our previous grievances, which were about the late Floyd | payment or even sometimes the non-payment of overtime, or difficult Floyd | schedules in the manufacturing unit when, as the recent events Floyd | unfortunately show, ensuring both quality and security is paramount, Floyd | and Floyd | this requires to have qualified personnel be able to work under good Floyd | conditions. Floyd | Floyd | We ask for our grievances to be heard by corporate management, and we Floyd | wish Floyd | to be given an interview with Mr Schwartz as soon as possible to Floyd | discuss Floyd | those points. Floyd | Floyd | Have a nice day, Floyd | Your UAW representatives Floyd | Floyd | [good for them, i guess...] Floyd | [pffff] Floyd | [who's going to help me get out of this?] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | [Please press SPACE.] | ||

Floyd | The periscope is way up. You jump to reach it, but you can't grab it.
Floyd |
Floyd | Behind you, Eduardo smiles at you. "I'll help you."
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel his hands on your hips, and you jump, and you manage to hang
Floyd | to the periscope, then to climb up the tower, way up.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the submarine
Floyd | You are standing on the submarine's metal hatch. You look around.
Floyd | Everything is dark, it's sunset. The sky is reddish, the water a dark
Floyd | blue. Not a wave, like a clear mirror made of water. Far away, an
Floyd | island.
| ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x island" | ||
Floyd | island. Floyd | Floyd | >get down | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "get down" | ||
Floyd | >get down
Floyd | You get down inside the ship.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the submarine
Floyd | The walls inside are straight, and covered with instruments and dials
Floyd | that you cannot read clearly. You friends are by the ceiling, floating
Floyd | around -- you are under water, which leaked into the hull. A red
Floyd | button lies on the floor.
| ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x dials" | ||
Floyd | button lies on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | >push red button | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "wait" | ||
Floyd | >push red button Floyd | You push the red button, and the other three scream, shriek. You don't Floyd | feel anything, but you jump. Their screams are very distinctly real Floyd | and hurt your ears. Floyd | Floyd | The fire extinguisher next to you starts blowing steam out, like a Floyd | pressure cooker. A horrible whistling noise, a high-pitched noise, Floyd | getting louder and higher, like an alarm or a plane going down. Floyd | Eduardo looks at you, as if he wasn't understanding what was happening Floyd | to him, his eyes full of reproach. Floyd | Floyd | With an expression full of hate, Michel lunges for you, and you push Floyd | him back. His head hits a crossbar and he starts bleeding inside his Floyd | space suit. He starts melting inside his space suit, all you can see Floyd | are red bubbles and his face decomposing quickly, his skull tearing Floyd | off. You want to close your eyes but you can't. Floyd | Floyd | An explosion, and shrapnel floats parallel to you, in slow motion. Floyd | Pieces of metal, the dials' hands, glass, knifes. Floyd | Floyd | You can't stop looking at Eduardo's face, torn apart by thousands of Floyd | projectiles, his skin peeling off his skull in big shreds, the red Floyd | color of his muscles, the red of his blood, his cry of pain, his face Floyd | crumbing away, his skin tearing off... Floyd | Floyd | You turn around, and a grenade is right in front of your face, you see Floyd | every single one of its details, and then it freezes, then explodes in Floyd | your face... | ||

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | You wake up, screaming, shaking, tense, sitting up, then quickly on Floyd | your feet, but then just as quickly back down on all fours, curled up Floyd | in a ball. Floyd | Floyd | Your heart is beating very fast, too fast, it's going to shut down on Floyd | you. Your breathing is nothing but loud whimpers, gasps, sobs. Floyd | Floyd | After a few seconds, or minutes, of this intense terror, you manage to Floyd | control yourself somewhat again, with great difficulty. That one was Floyd | vivid. They all are. Dozens of terrible details that haunt you. Morbid Floyd | dreams that you can still remember, even the little details, weeks Floyd | later. All similar, all different, all terrifying. Floyd | Floyd | It's hard, but you get back up, and you stretch with a big sigh. You Floyd | hate the days that start with nightmares. You can never quite shake Floyd | them off, and the cloud hangs over your head the whole day through. Floyd | Every day starts with a nightmare these days. | Teaspoon says, "well, called that" | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "loo" | ||
Floyd | Every day starts with a nightmare these days. Floyd | Floyd | Office Floyd | Everything is shrouded in half-darkness, as always. Your sleeping bag Floyd | is rolled in a ball, crumpled up in its usual spot in the corner of Floyd | the room. In the opposite corner are your chair and computer desk. Floyd | Your computer's looping the same playlist, as always. You spend most Floyd | of your time here, although you go to the greenhouse from time to Floyd | time. This is fine. Floyd | Floyd | To the north, a little alcove leads to the greenhouse door. The Floyd | corridor leading to the rest of the base is south. Floyd | Floyd | Apparently, you have a new email.

Floyd | [interesting...] Floyd | Floyd | Those measurements are ones produced by sensors placed in the room Floyd | where Floyd | beds for the crew were set up. Our previous measurements indicate that Floyd | you haven't been using this room for sleeping for a few weeks, but we Floyd | still measured important traces of organic life, most notably heat and Floyd | some breathing. Floyd | [huh?] Floyd | Floyd | You must have been sleeping in that room last night and of course Floyd | [i would never have done that!] Floyd | it is totally fine, but the procedure is such that we have to inform Floyd | you Floyd | of any activity that's out of the ordinary. The other explanation, Floyd | which is admittedly a bit more worrying, is that you were subject to a Floyd | temporary sleepwalking episode during the night, which is possible. Floyd | [sleepwalking? what next?] Floyd | If this is the case, we ask you to inform your referring Floyd | psychiatrist, Dr Peters.

[but those robots are indestructible, they're not Floyd | supposed to be stuck, ever!] Floyd | we'd like you to go check it out.

That's also why you moved your sleeping bag to the main room Floyd | north, so you don't have to walk in this corridor every night to go to Floyd | the quarters, which are located next to the deactivated door at the Floyd | south end of the corridor.

This is Floyd | the remainder of the base, which circuits have been deactivated after Floyd | the catastrophe. Resources are rare, we can't afford to leave you Floyd | access the whole base, which was designed to be used by the four of Floyd | you. We put everything you might need in one wing. Let us know if you Floyd | need anything else, but you should be fine. The storeroom is next to Floyd | the door, towards the east; westwards, a bit further around the Floyd | corner, is the dorm where the crew was supposed to sleep, which is now Floyd | empty, and the corridor runs north to the main room. Floyd | Floyd | You should really do something about this robot -- but first, eating, Floyd | quickly. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Storeroom Floyd | The storeroom is a small room, narrow but long, with metal shelves Floyd | running along the walls, and the kitchen nook at the back -- a sparse Floyd | one, with a sink and two electric burners. Of course, almost all the Floyd | supplies were lost in the accident, and what remains here are the Floyd | survival rations, so to speak. The shelves are thus almost all empty, Floyd | apart from the two closest to the door, which are reasonably full; Floyd | although most of it is that "space tofu", like everyone called it, Floyd | even if there are other things like the sauces, your last shred of Floyd | humanity.

Floyd | > Floyd | > GET LOAF Floyd | Floyd | Appease the hunger once and for all, even if it means eating one of Floyd | those disgusting loaves. You take one from the top of the shelf and Floyd | start removing the wrapping. Floyd | Floyd | The loaf is almost small enough that it would fit whole in your mouth. Floyd | Eurgh, why did you think about that -- now you're just picturing Floyd | having your mouth completely filled with this thick and tasteless Floyd | paste. You close your eyes and breathe, then eat one bite. Of course, Floyd | it is tasteless; you take a pinch of salt and put it directly in your Floyd | mouth: it's tolerable, but really not quite edible yet. Anyway, it Floyd | never is. Had the payload not gone up in flames, you would have had Floyd | all sorts of spices and herbs to plant, and even a few extra chemical Floyd | aromas; but right now, with nothing of the kind, it's just unbearable. Floyd | Floyd | After ten minutes of that disgusting sensation in your mouth, you Floyd | painstakingly finish the loaf. You feel satiated, except that you feel Floyd | like throwing up. Eating here is a struggle, a difficult and really Floyd | not a gratifying one. No wonder you feel depressed, and you're sure Floyd | that a plate of beef bourguignon would heal you in a heartbeat. Five Floyd | months before taste comes back... Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | You can only leave the storeroom by going west. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | You go back towards the deactivated door, which is half shrouded in Floyd | darkness; you feel knots in your stomach, tied there by a feeling of Floyd | foreboding. You're filled with fear, without exactly knowing why. Floyd | By the deactivated door Floyd | Is it darker here than it was moments ago? Oddly, it does seem so. You Floyd | don't feel very safe anymore all of a sudden; it's like everything was Floyd | darker, the darkness thickening, growing more menacing from behind the Floyd | door, like your reflection was blurrier. You close your eyes for a few Floyd | seconds, but when you open them, it's the same thing, and your heart Floyd | is racing even more. Maybe the fear of going towards the quarters to Floyd | the west. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Alright, when you gotta go... You take a deep breath before going Floyd | towards the... | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | towards the... Floyd | Floyd | A little flash of light to your left, in your peripheral vision. Floyd | Behind the door. At least you think? You turn and face the door, Floyd | slowly. It can't be, still, must be a... | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | slowly. It can't be, still, must be a... Floyd | Floyd | NO you weren't mistaken you jump out and run as far as you can from Floyd | this darkness but you end up in front of the quarters and they're in Floyd | darkness too -- breathe, breathe goddamnit, calm down calm down. Floyd | By Crew Quarters Floyd | You can only gasp for air, which is burning your lungs; your head is Floyd | spinning, your vision is blurring, your stomach is in a knot. Pure Floyd | terror runs in your veins. Is there something, someone there? Floyd | Impossible, impossible you tell yourself. But then why do you have Floyd | this feeling of being watched, surrounded by a sinister shadow? You Floyd | try to calm yourself by staring at the small light that's blinking in Floyd | the dark room north; it's Bob, and he needs you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | One last scream filled with rage, pain, fear. Come you, you have to Floyd | come in now! Floyd | Floyd | You step forward slowly, shaking, your teeth clenched and your jaw as Floyd | tense as it's ever been. You force yourself to relax it, you breathe Floyd | through the mouth heavily but slowly. Singing, right, that would help. Floyd | Singing anything, something rythmic, something catchy. You hum with a Floyd | frail voice as you keep moving forward. Floyd | Floyd | One step into darkness -- that's good -- it'll be okay, don't focus on Floyd | it, it's just a dark room -- two steps -- everything's okay -- fuck Floyd | i'm entirely in darkness -- it's okay it's okay -- focus on something Floyd | else Floyd | Floyd | Everything's fine. You take one more step, then another one, and Floyd | nothing happens. Behind you, the light from the corridor makes you Floyd | feel safer. You're not too far from Bob. It's almost over. A few more Floyd | steps... | Jacqueline says, "A few more steps..." | |

Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | One last scream filled with rage, pain, fear. Come you, you have to Floyd | come in now! Floyd | Floyd | You step forward slowly, shaking, your teeth clenched and your jaw as Floyd | tense as it's ever been. You force yourself to relax it, you breathe Floyd | through the mouth heavily but slowly. Singing, right, that would help. Floyd | Singing anything, something rythmic, something catchy. You hum with a Floyd | frail voice as you keep moving forward. Floyd | Floyd | One step into darkness -- that's good -- it'll be okay, don't focus on Floyd | it, it's just a dark room -- two steps -- everything's okay -- fuck Floyd | i'm entirely in darkness -- it's okay it's okay -- focus on something Floyd | else Floyd | Floyd | Everything's fine. You take one more step, then another one, and Floyd | nothing happens. Behind you, the light from the corridor makes you Floyd | feel safer. You're not too far from Bob. It's almost over. A few more Floyd | steps... | ||

| Teaspoon says, "I'm at a los." | |
| Teaspoon says, "loss. I am at a loss." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I agree with the short version of Emily Short's review: 'I enjoyed it quite a bit, and got a little of the ambiguous thrill that I associate with old black and white episodes of the Twilight Zone.'" | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "So, er, is that it?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, I think that's it." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Oh. Well, that was...unexpected." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Games don't always wrap up in neat little boxes." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "good point." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We went crazy, singing and dancing in our room. That's good enough for me." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "We're so happy now. It took me off guard." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Anyway, I do like the game. It explores inner thoughts and points of view and relationships in a unique way." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "that bracket text trick was very clever. I may steal that technique." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Bracketed and italic, yeah." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It'll read more clearly in the transcript." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "A transcript which I could process right. this. second. So that my site stays up to doate." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "er, to date." | ||
| Teaspoon exclaims, "You could!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Also, Hugo would probably like to see how it went, and if I'm wrong and there is another ending, he'll tell us." | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "Out of curiosity, what was that timed event?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I was hoping to share a couple of emails I received from authors after the update. A shame Roger and DW aren't here." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "The timed event?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "You mentioned that something had been altered for the Floyd version." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Were you not here the first time we tried to play this?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It typed emails out letter by letter." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I was. It was utterly unplayable." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Think of the way the replies went this time, but exponentially worse." | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "Oh, was that the only change? No content?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, that was it, I think." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "That's reassurring" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Well, I'm glad it was fixed. Good to have played." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "From Hugo:" | ||
| Jacqueline | Luckily my code was clean, so I only had to change one line! | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We also got ao very nice note from Steph Cherrywell (her transcripts of Chlorophyll and Brain Guzzlers were part of The Big Update):" | ||
| Jacqueline | Oh, that's so neat! Especially the long one for Brain Guzzlers, I'm so happy to see people playing and discussing the game so much. Thank you for sharing this with me! | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Ah, that is nice." | ||
