You wake up.
"Was it good? That must have been a good
reward."
"Did you fugue? You know if you fugue you have to
report it."
You are wearing a white coat and a mask. Before you is a
gigantic glass mouse-maze, so wide you can't see the other side. There must be
a million mice inside, but they can't find each other. Off to either side are
rows of workers in white coats and mirror-masks. The person speaking to you is
one of these.
In Front
·
Embossed on the monitor; "THIS IS YOUR
MOUSE".
·
Flickering on the screen is a closeup of a white
mouse, somewhere in the maze.
·
The mouse has a chip in its head.
A ribbed, clear
plastic tube which ends in a pill container.
A set of brass
controls.
·
Embossed on them is; "ACTIVATE YOUR
CONTROLS IN PAIRS".
·
The Controls are;
o CHEESE
SMELL
o SPATIAL
MEMORY ALTERATION
o FEAR
(DIFFUSE)
o FEAR
(DIRECTIONAL)
Behind
·
Liquid Mirror-Men patrol.
·
Alternating rows of doorways.
·
One type marked; ‘REPORTS’
·
The other labelled; ‘MOUSE CONVERSION’
Controlling Your Mouse
·
Each round the PC must choose to activate two
controls.
·
Each activation gives two positions on the
chart.
·
Draw a line between those positions.
·
Play until the line crosses itself or forms a
loop.
·
If the line forms a loop, they are given a Reward Pill.
·
If the line crosses itself an ALARM sounds and
RED LIGHTS flash. The Mirror-Men take them to a ‘MOUSE CONVERSION’ reactor

Exits
Reward Pill
Taking the Reward Pill causes you to black out. Move to
‘Reality Gallery’.
Making a Report
The room is dark. The door closes and locks behind you.
You feel a sense of falling. Move to ‘Wolf Multitude’
Anything Else
Failing to Control your Mouse, Causing Disruption or any
other activity means the Mirror Men drag you to a ‘Mouse Conversion’ reactor.
You feel yourself shrinking and
transforming. A vacuum tube opens in the centre of the reactor and sucks you
down. You wake up in ‘Diagnosis’.
If you need a mouse control subsystem, this might be worth adapting: http://whatwouldconando.blogspot.ca/2017/04/five-dimensional-weather.html
ReplyDeleteI say "might" because I have no idea how to make it work, but it's got the right shape for something that might work.
Does a "loop" have to connect the line beginning to end, or can the line's end connect somewhere to the middle?
ReplyDeleteRepeatedly, does "crossing" involve the line touching itself, or does it have to jump over?
