HAUNT
House of Angry and Unstable Non-corporeal Terrors

Type commands into the terminal window to move yourself through haunted cyberspace.
Use `h` or `help` to see a list of the most acceptable commands.
`scan off` and `music off` will turn off the scanlines and pause the music respectively. Some users may experience eye strain if playing with scanlines active.
String together movement commands! `w w w w` will move your character 4 spaces west until you hit a wall.

Think you've made the ghost happy enough? Try to leave and see if you've appeased it sufficiently!



You've established ZOOM connection to an alien outpost! But the connection is unstable. But you're confident you can fix it. Absolutely.

Ha! As if. Now you're trapped in the terminal with an unstable ghost.

Appease the ghost by finding the thing it's been looking for --- except it doesn't quite remember what.

The right thing will make it happy; the wrong thing will make it angry. Happy ghost will let you out but angry ghost will start destroying things.

Investigate the rooms as much as you like, but you can only carry three (3) things. Offer one to the ghost and see how it feels.

Go on. Open the.. terminal.. and start figuring out what to bring to an angry cyberghost.
