DavidW says, "I've played that one fully, but it's not difficult. It's like Gun Mute, but with the sword/knife instead of a gun." | ||
DavidW says, "It's sorta set in a post-apocolpyse future that's still kinda nice." | ||
Jacqueline says (to DW), "Oh, hm. No, let's play something you haven't experienced yet." | ||
DavidW says, "Should I remove games I've played then? I don't expect to always be the driver." | ||
Jacqueline says, "Hrm. Well, I don't have much brain right now." | ||
DavidW says, "ah" | ||
DavidW says, "well, I haven't played Espresso Moka at all. I have played the previous game with the same characters, though." | ||
DavidW says, "Portrait with Wolf is more of an art piece than a game. Surreal with many many endings. I "played" a little of it, to get to two endings, but I hear there's dozens." | ||
DavidW says, "Probably not the game for today, though." | ||
Jacqueline asks, "Too dark?" | ||
DavidW asks, "uh, I don't know how dark it gets. It's got this weird vibe that involves the game needing to be played over and over, like Pick Up The Phone Booth and Die, and I think it bases some stuff on what came before? Maybe?" | ||
DavidW says, "It's not really like anything else I've played before." | ||
Jacqueline says, "Ah. I mean, if it's well written that might be good - lots of content for you explore still. But I'm fine with whatever." | ||
DavidW says, "I just wish I had a better feeling about Espresso Moka, if it's like anything Breakfast in the Dolomites was." | ||
Jacqueline says, "Well, since it sounds short, we could knock that out first." | ||
DavidW says, "okay. here goes nuthin'" | ||
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask espressomoka" | ||

CF | On the west side of the street are the windows of a large building, | ||
CF | and on the east side a large window of a clothes store. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | While Monica carefully examines the shop window, you, not interested, | ||
CF | remember that the capsules for your coffee machine at home are running | ||
CF | out. | ||
CF | "Mo, we must remember to buy coffee capsules: they are running | ||

CF | like, but deep down she has her heart beating for you. | ||
CF | You got used to shortening her name to Mo. | ||
CF | She wears a pair of jeans, a striped camisole and a pair of shimmering | ||

CF | something doesn't go her way. In the end you always please her and she | ||

CF | sneakers. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | "Hey Ciccio!" — Monica claims your attention — "Do you | ||

CF | Monica, I'm thrilled to let you know that the author has decided to | ||
CF | tweak the description a bit to make it more gentle. | ||

CF | replies. | ||
CF | Absolutely, Miss Monica, but now let's get back to the game. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | > | Jacqueline asks, "Huh. Meta?" | |
Jacqueline says, "Weird." | ||
DavidW says, "In the last game, Mo and everyone in the hotel were actors playing their roles around you." | ||

CF | their pockets in your last game." | ||
CF | "It's better not to mention it," — you suggest — "I | ||
CF | don't | ||

CF | The storeroom is a long windowless tube made of metal. It is high | ||
CF | enough for a small man to stand upright comfortably. Nets hang from | ||
CF | the curved walls and contain the food supplies. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | The supplies here are slowly running out. But that's not a problem, | ||
CF | because your journey will soon reach its destination. | ||
CF | | ||

CF | | ||
CF | | ||
CF | In Front of the Airlock | ||
CF | This section is even tighter than the others because it houses the | ||
CF | airlock. Next to the airlock hatch in the east, a large porthole is | ||
CF | set into the wall through which one can see out. A passageway is | ||
CF | leading to the north. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | You can't help but notice that the security door to the south looks | ||
CF | pretty battered from this side. | ||

CF | > | ||
CF | > LOOK THROUGH PORTHOLE | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Beyond the porthole, in the endless black nothingness of space you see | ||
CF | Nostreperes, the pale planet. Soon the spaceship will enter its | ||
CF | atmosphere. You have calculated the course to descend in smaller and | ||
CF | smaller ellipses until you will finally land gently on the surface. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Floating in front of the large chalky white disc is one of your crew | ||
CF | members in a spacesuit. That would have to be Robert, the most | ||
CF | cautious of you. | ||

CF | | ||
CF | Robert is only connected to the spaceship by a meagre supply hose. It | ||
CF | seems as if he and the hose are floating aimlessly back and forth, | ||
CF | like a flag in slow motion. What's he doing out there? Did he | ||
CF | suddenly find the fun in putting his life in danger? | ||
CF | | ||
CF | You have to ask Harrison about it. Robert has to come back on board | ||
CF | quickly, because he won't make it through the atmosphere outside | ||
CF | unscathed! | ||

CF | | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Dormitory | ||
CF | This is the area where you and your crew can rest and sleep. On each | ||
CF | of the two long walls are two narrow bunks, one above the other. For | ||
CF | most of your flight in all these months, you've had little else to do | ||
CF | but kill time here. No wonder it smells like a men's locker room. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | To the north and south are passages to the other compartments. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Bill lies in his bunk and sleeps peacefully. | ||

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x bill" | ||
CF ] Dormitory | ||
CF | > | ||
CF | > X BILL | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Bill lies in his bunk and sleeps with his mouth open. Fortunately, he | ||
CF | isn't snoring, which he usually does. He lies there quietly and | ||
CF | peacefully. Maybe a side effect of him losing some weight? | ||
CF | | ||
CF | "Big Bill" you used to say, but now he's not so big any more. On the | ||
CF | contrary, he has become quite thin. Maybe it's a good thing that the | ||
CF | journey took a little longer than planned. That aside, your | ||
CF | calculations are correct and you have arrived at Nostreperes. Or soon, | ||
CF | anyway. And once you've landed, it'll be forgotten in no time that you | ||
CF | had to ration food for a few weeks. | ||
CF | | ||

CF | | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Cockpit | ||
CF | The cockpit is not sparsely equipped - it is not equipped at all. | ||
CF | There are no controls or measuring instruments here, because the | ||
CF | flight of the rocket was calculated by you personally and determined | ||
CF | in such a way that no further readjustments are necessary. Therefore, | ||
CF | there is only a large panorama window and two comfortable armchairs: | ||
CF | one for you and one for Harrison, your first officer. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Harrison sits in his armchair and looks intently through the panorama | ||
CF | window. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | On the right side of the panorama window you can see Nostreperes | ||
CF | slowly passing by. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Any moment now, the gravity of the pale planet must catch your ship | ||
CF | and slowly but surely pull it towards its surface. Just as you have | ||
CF | calculated. | ||

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x harrison" | ||

CF | > X HARRISON | ||
CF | | ||
CF | You look at Harrison from the side. He is the most talkative of the | ||
CF | whole crew. But the grandeur of this moment seems to have rendered him | ||
CF | speechless. Only his famous crooked grin seems to greet you.. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Harrison suddenly turns his head towards you. His sunken eyes stare at | ||
CF | you questioningly. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Nostreperes gradually disappears from your field of vision. Your | ||
CF | spaceship makes no effort to tilt towards the planet's surface, as it | ||
CF | should. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | But your calculations can't be wrong! | ||

CF | grin is discomforting, with his tongue hanging half out of his mouth. | ||
CF | His skin is torn from nose to cheek. It flaps down and the bone | ||
CF | underneath is visible. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Through the panorama window, all that can be seen now is eternal | ||
CF | blackness. Apart from your own breathing, there is not the slightest | ||
CF | sound in the spaceship. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | You feel like laughing to fill the void. | ||

CF | Laugh at the fact that you've dragged your friends into it. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Laughing because you'd rather let them starve than share the food with | ||
CF | them. | ||
CF | Laughing at the smell of decay from your rotting friends. | ||
CF | | ||
CF | Laugh because it all did you no good and yet you too will soon starve. | ||
CF | Laugh because a some point you will be so hungry that you will start | ||
CF | to eat their rotting flesh. | ||
