| CF | | ||
| CF | You've always been drawn to the lonely old house on the hill outside | ||
| CF | your town. It's been abandoned for as long as you've lived here; | ||
| CF | you've never seen it get any care or attention. To everyone else, it's | ||
| CF | just a part of the scenery. But to you it's always been something | ||
| CF | more--a mystery, an omen, a promise. | ||
| DavidW pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | more--a mystery, an omen, a promise. | ||
| CF | Today, on a bright autumn afternoon, you've felt compelled to climb | ||
| CF | the hill and take a closer look. | ||

| CF | The Loneliest House | ||
| CF | An Interactive Fiction by Tabitha O'Connell | ||
| CF | Release 1 / Serial number 231017 / Inform 7 v10.1.2 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | You are standing outside the lonely old house on the hill. An ancient | ||
| CF | fence around it bars you from entry. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "I don't recognize this author's name." | |
| keltena asks, "Did you want me to keep driving, or just for the last one?" | ||
| DavidW asks, "Are you up for driving still?" | ||
| keltena says, "Sure." | ||
| Jade says, "Tabitha has several games" | ||
| DavidW says, "I asked for help because I wasn't (seemingly) getting anywhere and I thought a new perspective would be helpful." | ||
| keltena says, "Gotcha." | ||
| DavidW says (to keltena), "Continue to drive if you want to." | ||
| keltena says, "I'm good continuing if you want, but if you'd rather pick back up feel free" | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x house" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X HOUSE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The house is a large, once-grand, Italianate-style residence. A porch | ||
| CF | stretches across the front, sheltering the entrance, and atop the roof | ||
| CF | is a cupola. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "check our inventory to see what, if anything, we have." | |
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "i" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > I | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are carrying nothing. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | From somewhere far away, you hear the playful shouts of children. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x me" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X ME | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Unlike the lonely old house on the hill, you are perfectly ordinary. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | keltena says, "Cute." | |
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x fence" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X FENCE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A wire fence bearing an old, faded "KEEP OUT" sign. You don't mind it; | ||
| CF | you just like looking at the house. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A dog barks in the distance. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "Of course, perfectly ordinary could mean a whole lot of things still." | |
| keltena asks, "We are perfectly ordinary by our standards, and really, isn't that what matters?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "True." | ||
| keltena says, "Oddly peaceful." | ||
| Lancelot asks, "climb porch?" | ||
| DavidW asks, "hm. So do we stay outside then? Circle around and look at the cupola and so on? Or do we break the fence or climb it?" | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "climb porch" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > CLIMB PORCH | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | That's not a verb I recognise. | ||

| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x cupola" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X CUPOLA | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | On the roof is the cupola, a smaller cube crowning the large cube of | ||
| CF | the house. The cupola's walls are mostly taken up by windows. You can | ||
| CF | imagine what excellent views it would provide. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW asks, "hm. No climb?" | |
| DavidW asks, "x windows?" | ||
| keltena asks, "Huh. I wonder if we actually are going to spend a lot of this time just looking, like we planned?" | ||
| Jade says, "no climb" | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x windows" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X WINDOWS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Each side of the cupola has a pair of tall, narrow windows with | ||
| CF | round-arched tops. Thin wooden muntins divide each window into four. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The browning leaves on the trees beyond the house rustle in the wind. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x trees" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||

| CF | > X TREES | ||

| keltena says, "Heh. We know what we're here for, I guess." | ||
| DavidW says, "I got plenty of muntin" | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x muntins" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X MUNTINS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Unlike the fake plastic ones these days that get stuck onto windows | ||
| CF | for show, these long, thin pieces of wood hold the windowpanes in | ||
| CF | place. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A flock of geese flies by, honking plaintively. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "open fence" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||

| CF | That's not a verb I recognise. | ||
| CF | | ||

| Lancelot says, "ouch no open either" | ||
| keltena says, "Maybe we're a one-verb kinda person in addition to a one-house kinda person." | ||
| DavidW says, "so strange" | ||
| keltena says, "(Or not the sort that's physically capable of such things.)" | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "One-track mind?" | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x windowpanes" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X WINDOWPANES | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The glass is slightly warped, a sign of its age. You can imagine the | ||
| CF | view through it, into a room with a hardwood floor and cozy window | ||
| CF | seats. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | keltena says, "Hm." | |
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x window seats" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X WINDOW SEATS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I only understood you as far as wanting to examine the windows. | ||

| CF | You are standing outside the lonely old house on the hill. An ancient | ||
| CF | fence around it bars you from entry. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The house is a large, once-grand, Italianate-style residence. A porch | ||
| CF | stretches across the front, sheltering the entrance, and atop the roof | ||

| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X PORCH | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A full-width porch, large and airy, perfect for sitting outside on a | ||
| CF | nice day. The top is outlined by a row of decorative brackets. | ||
| CF | | ||

| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "enter fence" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | On the roof is the cupola, a smaller cube crowning the large cube of | ||

| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||

| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x paint" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X PAINT | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Once a bright yellow, the paint is faded and dull now, with bits | ||
| CF | peeling away to reveal the wood underneath. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x wood" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X WOOD | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Tinged gray where it's been left exposed to the elements. You can | ||

| keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "touch wood" | ||
| CF ] Outside the lonely old house on the hill | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Within a large arch is a pair of doors. You can imagine how it would | ||
| CF | feel to walk through them, knowing as you left your beautiful house | ||

| CF | > | Jade asks, "????" | |
| Roger says, "just seeing" | ||
| keltena says (to Roger), "I feel like your replay of the game is almost its own piece of art." | ||
| Roger says, "I'm like one of those vampires counting rice" | ||
| DavidW says, "The porch doing its yoga stretches." | ||
| keltena says, ""x house. x house. x house. x house. x house. x house..." has some very driven-mad-by-a-simple-Ectocomp-game energy to it" | ||
| keltena says, "It's like a creepypasta, maybe." | ||
| Roger says, "...the Xs were coming from outside the house!!! wooo pretty scary eh kids" | ||
| keltena says, "But in that case, who was phone? :|a" | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't remember any other game presenting an old house and not giving me any way into it." | ||
| keltena asks, "I guess you've learned a valuable lesson about trespassing?" | ||
| DavidW says, "oh, um, sure." | ||
| keltena says, "...admittedly, the lesson is to become the house instead of entering it, so I'm not actually sure how applicable that is." | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "But is it trespassing if we re the house?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I'll just take this zucchini casserole welcome to the neighbourhood gift back home." | ||
| keltena asks, "Do you think we can invite a vampire in if we're the house?" | ||
| DavidW says, "And of course I won't gossip about their choice of furnishings at all. Nope. Not me." | ||
| DavidW says (to keltena), "interesting question" | ||
| DavidW says, "We probably have to change the sign, at the very least." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, ""Keep me undemolished."" | ||
| keltena says, "Perhaps just "Welcome."" | ||
| DavidW says, "'Bloodhaven Sanctuary - Everyone Welcome'" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "But yeah, a sign that says... right." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, ""Come on in. Forever."" | ||
| keltena says, ""Stay. Please."" | ||
| DavidW says, "Hotel California" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, ""Ah, another visitor. Stay a while. Stay forevah!"" | ||
| DavidW says, "That would be an interesting premise." | ||
| DavidW says, "There was one game sorta like that. Koustrea's something." | ||
| DavidW says, "You could hyperwait for a dripping stalagtite to fill a container over centuries, and you just do that." | ||
| DavidW says, "Everyone in the building was immortal, or seemed to be." | ||
| keltena says, "Huh. Note to self to check that one out." | ||
| DavidW says, "It's a bizarre one." | ||
| Lancelot says, "gotta go see ya next week" | ||
| Jade says, "Godnight I am going to bed. See you next week." | ||
| DavidW says, "yes, thanks to everyone, esp keltena for driving." | ||
| keltena says, "Bye/night, everyone!" | ||
| DavidW says, "Take care. See you next week!" | ||
