I hooked up the part where the game listens but not the part where it talks back by Bananadine 05/08/2010, 11:42pm PDT
So what you can't see is me, behind the scenes, scrambling to get these absurdly suspicious Strangers to examine the remote before they disconnect. And what they can't see is most of this:

Blinding light.

You open your eyes, but quickly shut them. There's a blinding white light coming from directly in front of you. Strangely, you find that you are sitting up in a chair. You don't remember getting out of bed. Come to think of it, you don't remember getting in bed, either.

Once again you attempt to open your eyes, blocking out some of the light with your hand. You stand up and look around as your eyes adjust to the light.

You're quite sure that you've never been here before.

Channel Surfing
An Interactive Fiction by Mike Vollmer
Release 2 / Serial number 081122 / Inform 7 build 5T18 (I6/v6.31 lib 6/12N)

Box
The walls, floor, and ceiling are all completely blank, and completely unfamiliar. They're painted a very passive gray color, and appear to be completely flat and smooth. The floor is about ten feet across in both directions, and the ceiling is about eight feet above you.

The chair you were sitting on is big -- easily big enough for at least one other person. It is covered with cushions, but still feels hard to the touch and is very uncomfortable. You wonder how you were ever able to sleep on it.

The only light source is the television in front of you. You guess that it must be at least eighty inches diagonally. It appears to be thin, but you can't see around it to be sure. Do they make LCD TVs that big? The near-blinding white light from the television fills much of the room, leaving harsh black shadows where the light doesn't reach.

Beside you is a small, expensive looking wooden table.

On the small table are a remote, a letter, and a post-it note.

>examine remOte?


You can't see any such thing.

>examine remOte


A television remote control. It appears to be brand new, but the plastic seems a bit cheap and flimsy.

The top of the device is covered with numbered buttons. You guess that you use these to change the channel on the television.

>why did you want me to do that?


I didn't understand that sentence.

>you are fuckin weird bro


I didn't understand that sentence.
