CF | | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Your legs emit dull aches that tell you to slow down. It's normal | ||
CF | after walking around for awhile. Sometimes your mind fixates on | ||
CF | wandering to forget its troubles; it ends up forgetting the body, too. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | You sit on a small bench and feel the night air brush against your | ||
CF | skin. It's one of many art installations around the university and one | ||
CF | of the few you can sit on without being yelled at. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Various green plants rise and lap in the breeze around you. They | ||
CF | overlap each other, forming small walls that protect you from | ||
CF | passersby's gazes. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | For a moment, they shield you from the things outside of this little | ||
CF | garden. Your shoulders loosen because everything they carry don't | ||
CF | exist here. In the Garden of Eden trivial matters such as school, | ||
CF | caring for your parents, and love stay outside. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE. | Jade says, "I have been playing if all the afternoon and am really tired today" | |

CF | | ||
CF | Luna Gardens | ||
CF | An Interactive Fiction by Justin Kim | ||
CF | Release 1 / Serial number 230731 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib | ||
CF | 6/12N) | ||
CF | | ||
CF | The Garden of Eden - Night | ||
CF | You sit on a bench in a confined garden. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | If inspiration strikes, you can always write it down in your journal. | ||
CF | And there's never anything wrong with asking for HELP. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Exotic plants in different shapes and sizes sway with the breeze. Palm | ||
CF | leaves tickle the air, bay laurels stand in silence, and dwarf myrtles | ||
CF | rise from the earth. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | The little fountain lying near your feet makes you want to chuckle- | ||
CF | But its quaintness holds you back. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | The combined smells of jasmine, daffodils, mint, and everything else | ||
CF | overwhelm your brain's olfactory receptors. A particular flower | ||
CF | catches your eye. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | > | Jacqueline says, "Hm. Plants lapping in the breeze. Interesting visual." | |
Knight_Otu has arrived. | Knight_Otu says, "Oops." | |
DavidW asks, "I assume this is a one-room game, then?" | ||
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x flower" | ||

CF | | ||

CF | That's funny- You've never seen this here before. In the corner of | ||

CF | darkness. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | The gap looks big enough to walk through; you just need to push the | ||

CF | You still feel as weightless as before, a specter roaming the world at | ||

CF | ... And find yourself at an entrance right back where you started? | ||
CF | | ||
CF | That's what you think at first; on a second glance you spot the same | ||
CF | bench (which seems longer than before) you had sat on- But now a | ||
CF | strange woman you've never seen before resides on it. Looking around, | ||
CF | you notice that some things are different but also... The same? | ||
CF | | ||
CF | She turns to you and says, "I'm sorry, I took your seat!" | ||
CF | | ||
CF | A particular stretch of wind blows and chills you as you listen to | ||
CF | her. Inbetween her ruminations on the nature of reality and the beauty | ||
CF | of the moon (which you can't even begin to understand) you feel an | ||
CF | absence of anything except this moment. She mentions her name: Maya. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Maya looks into you again and says, "The night wanes and your cross is | ||
CF | heavy. Ask me about the gardens; I listen to you." | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Entering the archway takes you back to the dark void you came from. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | You steal a look- There's something about her you just can't put your | ||
CF | finger on- Yet. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | All kinds of exotic plants sway here, looking more like a flock of | ||
CF | birds flapping their green wings in the distance.. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | A large gold fountain makes pattering sounds as its water pours into | ||
CF | large bowls rising from the ground. | ||
CF | | ||

CF ] Introduction to Luna Gardens | ||
CF | Thank you for taking the time to play this. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Luna Gardens is a game inspired by late night walks and inescapable | ||
CF | questions. It's rooted in a bygone part of my life that was never | ||
CF | fully reconciled; this demo for IntroComp 2023 lays a small part of | ||
CF | those endless nights to rest. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | For those interested, this game was made in 1 month, with 2 weeks | ||
CF | spent creating the concept and designing the overall experience and | ||
CF | the last 2 weeks spent learning Inform 7 and implementing the final | ||
CF | demo. | ||
