Show yourself, smile, and say "Ah good, you're the person I was looking for! Who are you? In any case, lets be best friends! And lets get the hell outta here! Also, give me anything because I need your inventory in case you get eaten on our way out."

Didn't your mother never teach you not to talk with your mouth full?



"Who are you? How did you get in? How have you avoided the subjects? Answer me damnit!"

Hold the bone torch to the sparks and hope it lights.

You now have fire. This can only end well.

Then examine what is hanging from the ceiling.

Looks like some kind of meat.

If what's hanging from the ceiling is the remains of some formerly living creature, take a big bite.

When in Rome...



Eek. Who's that? Should you hide or confront?

Look around the room to check for any night-vision goggles.

Can't see any.

Go to the room at the end of the corridor. It's always the most important.

You stumble across to where you think the door is and enter.



It's a bit colder in here, but you can slightly see. Sort of. There's sparks coming from a socket and something hanging from the ceiling.

I heard a rumour that Stranded, like all good games, has a god-mode cheat. No idea how you activate it though.

Bribery.

You can access it here.

[> Inventory]

Use the pen hats (or are they called caps?) as bullets

Nothing happens. You must have missed that episode of Mythbusters.

Aarghh why did no-one check the gun was loaded??

> Inventory
Set the alarm on the mobile phone to 1 minute from now, stuff the mobile phone inside the second dismembered hand (presumably the fresher, more squishy one) and throw it across the room. Might as well stick the gum in there too - hopefully this 'thing' will choke and die on it.

While the thing is busy munching on the musical hand, leg it!!

Phew. Safe for now. You're safe.



Oh crap.

Let's talk about anything!

Like HIT WEBCOMICS?!?!?!?!?

Or how I'm procrastinating from that other thread?

Like I'm hip instead of I know.

What?

That one actually makes sense, and you are old: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=I'm%20hip

I'm hip
1. To agree, concur or express understanding of something.
2. Being in "the know" or knowledgable about a subject.

Hide under the desk, point the gun at the door, and wait.

Make sure the safety is off and that the thing is loaded!

Well, I guess that answers that.

No, you have to CHECK the recycling bin first! It'll have vital information!

It contains some photos.



And a recording of a phone conversation:

"Dr Jones? My colleagues and I are starting to wonder how safe this all-"

"I'm not PAYING you to wonder, William, I'm PAYING you to create!"

"It's just, cuts in our department have made for less security around here, and we don't want them to get-"

"LISTEN, just DO YOUR JOB. We have a product to sell, you have a wife to support, and if we don't break through and get this to the market soon then we're all screwed. Got it?"

"Well, actually, sir-"

*DIAL TONE*

But can we empty it afterwards? I like the sound effect that plays when you empty it!

That was pretty satisfying.

read mails/files (to search for clues, what happened or for codes)

Aw, dagnabit.

take stapler, pens and handgun (examine it)

Also, take and examine the "stop taking my sandwiches" note.

take the blu-tact. It's vital.

While you're at it, take the corpse's hand.
You never know when you'll need a blu-tac covered hand!

Your pockets are getting full. You feel like such a kleptomaniac.

Look through keyhole before open the door

There's no keyhole. You don't even think it's locked.

You can hear something outside. Footsteps?

You're surprised by how quickly you got that!

Use the computer to check on the AGS forums 

Let's not do that again.

Put on a shirt to cover your delicious man nipples (torso boy's, if necessary).

Check the drawers!

A note, a stapler, a couple of pens. Oh, and a handgun.

Study the poster before looking behind it, and draw determination from its message of fortitude via osmosis.

Look behind the poster.

A wall and the blu-tack holding up the poster! Wonders never cease.

Use the computer to check on the AGS forums  

You ponder briefly why God hates you.

Loose the hands to ditch the body, it's disgusting.

I think it'd be easier to just jump on the corpse.

You immediately regret your decision.

First we have to examine the room/corridor and see if the other half of the man is there.

There is a door, a computer and an ironic motivational poster.

No signs of another half to the body, dashing your hopes of becoming an amateur spinal surgeon.

Use ID Card with Half a Man.

Is it a match?

There is no match. A betting man might wager that the ID card belonged to the body on which it was found, but gambling is dangerous, kids.

Apply the first aid kit on the half of a man?

No effect.

Take your shirt off,

Hello, ladies.

Cover your hands with the shirt and use the CD to crash the eggs

Ha, I knew there would be eggs!

Not anymore! You have also lost the CD. How tragic.

Then carry on down the vent...

Hey, the vent is broken. Looks like someone is hanging onto the edge!



Oh dear.

Vomit, as a precaution against sandwich poisoning.

Way ahead of you.

You can climb down from the vent, try to reach across, or go back. Or whatever, I guess.

I guess we should pick up the stuff from the locker (and I'm looking forward to a puzzle involving a CD-player)

DONE! This was on the back of the photo.

Always try going through the vent BEFORE the corridor,

This is even less comfy than it looks.



What are these...eggs?

Eat sandwich (if it looks edible )

Well, that was disgusting. The meat was not a familiar taste.

Open door.

Hmm.

Try to open the lockers and examine them.

Only one locker isn't locked:



Inside is a first aid kit, a sandwich, a picture of a woman and a copy of Lionel Richie's 1986 album 'Dancing on the Ceiling'.

examine vent

The cover came right off! Looks big enough to crawl through. John McLean would be proud.

Examine liquid coming from door.

Looks like blood, smells like blood, tastes like blood. It's probably custard.

>> Give birth.

You might have pooped a little.

[>Combine bone with drapes to make (unlit) torch]

>Combine bone with drapes to make (unlit) torch

You look forward to burning SO MUCH STUFF.

>go down

Uh oh, sounds like something's getting destroyed up there.



AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!




Oh, you were wondering where that had gotten to.

Study the dead guys neck stump - that doesn't look like a spine bone...

Turns out he was just lying on the bone, and that is no way indicative of my anatomy knowledge.

Loud noises continue outside.

(More coming tomorrow...)
