u r not alone (final)

,,,,,,,

You don’t recognise where you are. The walls are covered in a sickly green wallpaper, that seems to be moulding. There is a [[cabinet]] , a [[chair]] , a [[chest of drawers]], a [[record player]], and a [[door]]. (text-style: "smear")[You are alone.] (set: $blackkey to false) (set: $brasskey to false)

You wake up in a cold, windowless [[room]].

The wood of the door is mouldy and rotten. It is splintered, and you notice scratch marks near the bottom. [[open the door]] [[listen at the door]] [[go back]]

The cabinet is made of polished mahogany with a brass lock. [[open the cabinet]] [[go back]]

Chair [[sit on it]] [[stand on it]] [[go back]]

Atop the chest of drawers is a book covered in a fine layer in dust. [[open the book]] [[open the drawers]] [[go back]]

The record player is covered in a fine layer of dust. Beside it, stands a small stack of records. [[record one]] [[record two]] [[record three]] [[go back]]

What a comfortable and well crafted chair [[continue sitting]] [[stand on it]] [[go back]] <iframe width="0" height="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f2ev_un-Vq0?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The room looks different from up here. From this angle you notice the wallpaper is peeling [[peel it back]] [[go back]]

You peel back the wallpaper. It comes off easily from the damp wall. The wall is covered in hundreds of small lines. You realise they are tally marks. You also notice a [[message]] in dripping writing <iframe width="0" height="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jWYBqeBGNXo?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This is nice. The pitch of the backrest is absolutely ideal and the seat is perfectly plush. [[I wonder where it comes from]] [[stand on it]] [[go back]]

This is an antique wooden chair, probably Georgian, built in 1762 by Sheraton’s in Lymington. [[sit a little longer]] [[stand on it]] [[go back]]

You are relaxing into a comfortable reclined position. If only this was a massage chair. [[this is very relaxing]] [[stand on it]] [[go back]]

Some Kenny G would be perfect for mood setting about now. Maybe paired with an aged pinot noir? [[okay, sit for just a little bit more]] [[stand on it]] [[go back]]

Just keep sitting there. I’m sure you’ll find your way out no problem! [[yes, sitting is the solution]] [[stand on it]] [[go back]]

Seriously, have we not hinted at this enough? It’s time to get up! [[take the hint]] [[keep sitting]]

[[stand on it]] [[go back]]

You put your ear up to the rotting wood. You can hear something behind it, but you can’t quite decipher what the [[sound]] is. [[go back]]

The pages are yellow, and it smells like damp. The book is filled with a scrawled and messy [[handwriting]]. <iframe width="0" height="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tAADqtTtT7k?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You can’t make up what they say but you notice the handwriting on every page is different [[Rifle through the drawers]] [[go back]]

You search the drawers, the smell of damp paper fills your nose, making you you gag. You feel something at the bottom.

You take a bite. It is delicious. You feel something get stuck at the back of your throat. You begin to choke. You cough up an ornate [[black key]] <iframe width="0" height="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y0vyxCIJ0qg?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
