Hyper Retro Future is a text adventure written in Inform 7.

It’s playable on the web.

There is no graphics or audio in this game, so I opted out of those categories.

I have included a transcript (The commands and the output of the game). This solution is reasonably complete and looks at all the essential things, but do explore on your own!

If you have never played a game like this before, you basically type what you want to do and the game responds. What you need for this particular game: Looking at things, e.g. “look at rope” or “examine rope”, or the usual short form “x rope”. Look at everything, including yourself! “look at self” or “look at me”. Picking things up. “take rope” or “get rope” Using things. You can type “use rope” Step on things. “step on thing“ Pushing things. "push button" Open things. “open drawer“

Many other verbs work too. (there are no ropes or socks in this game)

Look at everything, including yourself!

Have a look at the transcript to make things clear if needed.

I tried to make something that fit the theme better, but nothing worked...

Some of the things in the game will make more sense if you have watched the LD 41 keynote by Pixel Prophecy
