CF \| You're just another teenager killing time at the Pleasant Ridge Mall,
CF \| where you've spent way too many quarters on arcade games. The final
CF \| "closing time" announcement echoed through the halls over an hour ago,
CF \| but you didn't notice. Too many lives left on your high score run.
CF \|
CF \| By the time you look up, the mall is deserted. The lights are dimmed,
CF \| the gates pulled down over store entrances. A sudden realization hits
CF \| you: you've been locked in.

CF \| Late Night at the Mall, a PunyComp game by Johan Berntsson
CF \| Release 1 / Serial number 241104 / Inform v6.41 PunyInform v5.11
CF \|
CF \| [First time playing? Type 'help' for guidance and hints.]
CF \|
CF \| Video Arcade
CF \| Around you, rows of arcade cabinets sit dormant; Pac-Man, Asteroids,
CF \| and Donkey Kong among them. The only light comes from the dim,
CF \| flickering glow of the Galaga machine in front of you, where your high
CF \| score blinks triumphantly on the screen.
CF \|
CF \| A glance south towards the entrance reminds you of the sinking
CF \| reality: it is blocked by a rolling metal barrier.

CF \|
CF \| The yellow cabinet of the Pac-Man machine is standing out even in the
CF \| dim light. The joystick is well-worn, its once-red color faded to a

CF \|
CF \| Your eyes catch on something useful: an old screwdriver carelessly

CF \| > OPEN PANEL WITH SCREWDRIVER
CF \|
CF \| With the screwdriver in hand, you crouch down next to the gate. After
CF \| a few tense minutes of fiddling with the panel covering the lock
CF \| mechanism, you manage to pry it open. Inside, the simple mechanism
CF \| holds a release lever. You take a breath, pull the lever, and hear a
CF \| faint click as the gate's lock disengages.

CF \|
CF \| Grabbing the bottom of the gate, you lift it slowly, mindful of the

CF \| lifted.
CF \|
CF \| To the east, a row of closed storefronts stretches out, mostly fashion
CF \| and clothing shops with darkened windows catching the faint glow of
CF \| emergency lighting. Looking west, you catch glimpses of the food

CF \| abandoned.

CF \|
CF \| Food Court
CF \| The food court is a cavernous space that now lies eerily quiet. The
CF \| Burger Haven, Pizza Paradise, and Sushi Spot stand closed, their menu
CF \| boards hanging limply. However, to the west the Taco Truck stall seems
CF \| not to have been closed properly; you notice a dim light from the
CF \| preparation area beyond, suggesting someone might have left in a
CF \| hurry.
CF \|
CF \| Plastic tables are scattered haphazardly across the tiled floor with
CF \| upturned chairs resting on them. To the east, a corridor leads back
CF \| toward the shops, while a passage to the north opens up to another
CF \| section of the mall. To the south, another corridor appears, possibly
CF \| leading to restrooms or maintenance areas.
CF \|
CF \| One of the chairs in the food court stands upright on the floor, an
CF \| anomaly amid the otherwise orderly upturned chairs resting atop the
CF \| tables.
