I never got particularly far in it, but don’t you need to some of that to get a second battery for the torch to enter the basement equipment room and get the crowbar? Of course you’d have to put everything back where it was afterwards, but I gave up before that point as the timing gymnastics were a pain in the arse to me.

For anyone working on a time travelling parser game, consider making it beginner friendly and enter it into Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2025, where the optional theme is “time travel”.
I’ll start planning this soon. Look for announcements early in the new year.
