Unfortunate Wizardly Circumstances

An Unfortunate Wizardly Circumstance

Interactive Fiction by Nathan J. Hill 

Oh dear.

You are Blyg, the unfortunate apprentice of the powerful wizard, DRAYLOC THE TERRIBLE. Drayloc went away for a long weekend excursion with his droll, humorless colleagues and made clear that you were to have the tower clean and supper prepared at his arrival. Instead, you wasted away the weekend casting cantrips on your master's lingerie, setting fire to the latrine, and watching reruns of Gandalf's Good Times Variety Show. The perimeter bell just rang, indicating that your indignant and powerful lord is about five arcane steps from walking in the front door of his grimy albeit sinister tower. Your life hangs in the balance.

How to Play & Win:

• You have five turns to make the best out of a terrible situation.
• Some actions slow down your master's arrival.
• Scroll up and down since you may need to get the right sequence of actions to win.
• And yes, you will want to play multiple times to see what other nonsense might unfold.

This game was written using Squiffy, and it has a few strange issues. Look for future updates to add a bit more depth and quality of life improvements. But yes, there is a way to beat it.
