Episode Z1
In this episode, we started by exploring the forest, finding a grating and a tall tree with a nest and a jeweled egg. (By some mischance, the egg got broken, revealing a clockwork canary inside.) We got into the house and discovered a trophy case and a hidden trap door. We found—to the player character’s peril—that “throw” has an assumed indirect object of “you” (in this revision 119 of Zork I, at least). Died three times to errant throws, and had to start over. Went up into the attic, and got eaten by a grue (as an experiment). Every time we die, our belongings get scattered over the overworld. Went to the canyon, found a rainbow but nothing to interact with, and came back. At last, descended the trap door…
