ClubFloyd Transcript:
Espresso Moka by Roberto Ceccarelli

As played on ifMUD on April 20, 2025

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.

Below is a transcript of Espresso Moka written by Roberto Ceccarelli, The Crew written by Olaf Nowacki, and A D R I F T written by Pinkunz. Espresso Moka was released as part of Spring Thing 2025 Main Festival. The Crew was released as part of ECTOCOMP 2021; it took 4th Place in Le Grand Guignol. A D R I F T was released as part of the Spring Thing 2022 Back Garden. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: The Crew, A D R I F T, and Espresso Moka.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

#ClubFloyd Discussion



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"

Jacqueline says, "Weird."
DavidW says, "In the last game, Mo and everyone in the hotel were actors playing their roles around you."

CF | > NO
CF |
CF | "No!" — you answer annoyed — "It ends up the same as
CF | always: you use it once and then it becomes one of your ciaffi!"
CF |
CF | While Monica tries to soften you up with cuddles and eye candy, I try
CF | to explain what ciaffi are.

CF | explains — "but trust me, for breakfast I prefer moka coffee to
CF | machine coffee. You've got to try it: I bet you'll change your mind!"
CF |
CF |
CF | "Well miss Monica," — Marco asks — "which color do you
CF | prefer?"
CF | "I let Fancesco choose," — Monica replies looking at you —
CF | "after all he is the art director."
CF | You smile.

CF |
CF | Le nostre moka sono progettate per durare nel tempo e produrre caffè

CF |
CF | A moka is the best friend of those who love a good Italian coffee. And
CF | its charm shows no sign of going out of fashion.
CF |
CF | Moka still remains the queen of Italian kitchens today. For its
CF | practicality and manageability, no doubt, but also for its peculiar
CF | identity. Not to mention the taste: that of the coffee dispensed and
CF | also that of its preparation, a set of gestures that grow into a real
CF | ritual.
CF |
CF | Our mokas are designed to last and produce the best quality espresso
CF | coffee.

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.

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 |
CF | Harrison is still staring at you. His eyes look dried up. His crooked
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 | 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 | That won't supply enough acceleration. There must be a way to get up

CF |
CF | Your suit is a standard-issue Orlan spacesuit. You think Federov had
CF | said it was the DMA-63C variant, but you can't remember for sure. You
CF | weren't listening carefully because you were never intended to stray
CF | from your Arabidopsis beds.
CF |
CF | It has the usual handy extras: a pouch for storing small items and an
CF | attachment for safety tethers, a lot of good the latter did for you.
