♦ Livestream of the ZZT world "The Alien Office Escape" by Dr. Dos (2025) [https://museumofzzt.com/file/view/alienoff/] ♦
This one had some trouble with the stream setup and so the start is rather abrupt and the first ~10 minutes are a bit a bleh. Don't be afraid to jump ahead a little bit with this one's rocky start.
Creating a game in 144 minutes for the latest leg in WiL's 2.4 Hours of ZZT Jam. The theme was "Friend or Foe" tasking authors to create a game where you rescue an ally that can help you or have to deal with an unbeatable threat. I went with the former, trying to construct a puzzle game set in apparently an alien office building.
While definitely a mess to make, the time was better utilized this time compared to last. Despite grander plans, I was better at recognizing what I had time for or not, and am reasonably satisfied with the final result.
Escape the office via a bit of computer "hacking", picking up clues about the world from your surroundings in order to solve puzzles, and then using a strange alien device to brew "coffee" for a loudmouth pair of lips. It's kind of a weird one!
