Walkthrough by Denk to "Frustrated Interviewee" by Robert Street ---------------------------------------------------------------- Good to know before playing: If you try to SAY or ASK you are told that communcation is done with TALK TO CHARACTER which is fine. However, it isn't mentioned that you can try to order people with the command structure: JOHN TAKE BOULDER More over, the standard from old Infocom games, e.g. JOHN, TAKE BOULDER doesn't work with the ADRIFT 4 Runner as it thinks that the comma starts a new command. So leave out the comma. Here is the solution: nw talk to daniel x daniel get remote [you can't] unplug tv [not effective] sw open cabinet [chocolate found] ne w clean room [you find the comic and chocolate] e give book to daniel get remote change channel nw scream [you must try all methods to wake Michael] se n x cabinets get glass fill glass s nw throw water at michael se ne x nightstand get clock sw nw set clock talk to michael se e give chocolate to jim w se s x tree x fit x tife talk to fit talk to tife tife climb tree se drink water talk to source x source s x ravine n x tree fit chop tree [can't because of poisonous weeds] source throw fireball at weeds fit chop tree get sticks get upper trunk fit lift lower trunk s drop trunk s x cave sw ne se x cliff tife climb cliff [not useful at the moment] nw sw source light sticks s talk to goblin attack goblin x corpse [clutching something] search corpse [you get a rope] n ne se give rope to tife push boulder x picture [note all the motives] My pile of sticks had dwindled to just 4. x suns [note that on rising sun=spring and midday sun=summer are prominent] put stick in beach [represents spring or summer] put stick in flower [represents spring or summer] put stick in lamb [represents spring or summer] put stick in hat [represents spring or summer] s x scales x statue get tiny rock get medium rock get small rock I took the small rock. put small rock on left pan put medium rock on left pan put tiny rock on right pan x rope cut rope tie ropes to hooks push stools s x pictures x first panel get jewel push jewel [This seems to be a bug as it is far too easy] s x yellow lever [strange response but something seems to change - a bug?] pull lever [also appears to be a bug] s x panel push button s get jewel x mirrors n s hit crack with sword d [we need light] x source [notice his staff] x staff [it is wooden] source light staff d move rock source levitate rock n source levitate me nw x glint put spear in tree hide behind bushes wait wait wait wait [until Tife comes] attack tife
