Return of Baby: The Text Adventure

[kiya]

A while back there was the original Infancy: The Text Adventure, courtesy xiphias.

Today we got a variant that went something like:


> LOOK AT BABY
The baby is very cute.

The baby hands you a wind-up flashlight.

> GIVE FLASHLIGHT TO BABY

The baby hands you a wind-up flashlight.

> GIVE FLASHLIGHT TO BABY

The baby hands you a wind-up flashlight.

> WIND FLASHLIGHT

The device makes a pleasant whirring sound as you hand-charge the battery.

> GIVE FLASHLIGHT TO BABY

The baby hands you a wind-up flashlight.

> TURN ON FLASHLIGHT

The glow from the flashlight is somewhat bluish and reasonably bright.

> GIVE FLASHLIGHT TO BABY

The baby takes the flashlight and starts to play with it.


In this case, the role of "the baby" was played by KJ and "you" by brooksmoses. (I had to give him a tip to solve the puzzle.)

'use mama' is the ultimate cheat code. ;)

So you played the role of the InvisiClues system? Did you give him several unhelpful hints?

17. How do I get the baby to keep the flashlight?

Have you tried giving the flashlight to the baby?

Does the flashlight have batteries?

Did you get the batteries from the freezer?

Wait, what batteries? Isn't it a wind-up flashlight?

Well, did you wind it?

Did you prove to the baby that the flashlight works after you wound it?

TURN ON FLASHLIGHT AND GIVE FLASHLIGHT TO BABY

I skipped to the critical useful hint, like "Wind it for her" at which point he figured out the remainder of the puzzle.

Your version is Excellent.
