CC's Road to Stardom By OK Feather For web browser Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution to a very linear, crazy game. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things and TALK TO all the characters for this solution to make sense. Most of your time will be spent just solving puzzles for puzzle's sake and trying to make sense of what's going on. Optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. You can omit these once you know what to do. WAKE UP (you take the map, you can view it at any time by typing M) TALK (you can now go S to investigate why pigeon is the most famous idol) S (S) (it's too chilly) X LAPTOP (it belongs to Florrie, maybe she left a note on it) (HINT) (all hints suggest a pigeon, so password must be...) TYPE PIGEON (everything on laptop is about pigeons, adds exit to west) W (S) (you should talk to Wool first) TALK (he challenges you to a puzzle) TALK (he gives you the puzzle) GUESS RED (you can now go south) (EXPLAIN) (if you want to know the logic) S (E) (it's still too chilly) ENTER TALK (RuD asks you which mini-game he should play to maximise his score) ASSIST (RuD explains the scoring behind the three mini-games) GUESS COSMOOGANG (he gives you a can of energy drink, whoop-de-doo) EXIT (you can now go east) E TALK (SevenSeas gives you some boring data) TALK (as instructed, this time she gives you a puzzle) (CLUE B) (B = D) (CLUE C) (doesn't tell you much) (CLUE D) (D = B, but you already knew that) (CLUE E) (E = B, therefore C must be most popular) GUESS C (SevenSeas offers some first aid tips, take note of them for later) N (Pigeon E and June are now here) TALK TO E (he offers some tips on how to get famous) TALK TO JUNE (more boring stuff about pigeons, she gives you a magic beak) TALK (E is starting to choke, what's the first step?) 1, 2 or 3 (these are in random order each game, so follow the first aid steps) 1 or 2 [Enter] TALK TO E (as instructed, he starts playing silly buggers, screen shows DANGER) ENTER (work your way through the asteroid belt, collecting blueprint on the way) E S S E S W (you get the blueprint) N E N E E S S S (you made it & automatically leave, Florrie is back) TALK (Florrie gives you a puzzle, it's a simple cipher, see below) TYPE OPENSOURCENOW (everyone arrives) (TALK) (as instructed, more boring stuff) (EAT CAKE) (everyone goes to the kitchen) GO KITCHEN (as instructed) ***THE END*** Florrie's cipher: The cipher is a simple substitution cipher. Use the initial phrase and numbers to work out how to decode it. For any letters that are missing numbers, you can determine the value for the letter by starting with A = 70, then add 1, 2, 3 etc. for each subsequent letter, i.e. A = 70, B = 71, C = 73, D = 76, E = 80 etc.
