> Try peering under some of the doors! Or better yet peek through the key holes! > Ok, time to use our other senses. Smell the hallway, taste the doors, feel the floor, listen carefully.

There’s not much of a gap between the door and the floor, and it’s much too dark to see into the rooms. The floor is cold and smooth. Your teeth sort of hurt from the last time you ‘tasted’ a door, so you’ll refrain from doing that for a bit too. You can’t see any other keyholes on any of the other doors besides yours.

> Stick both pencil halves into your mouth. Transform into walrus form. 

Goodbye, Eraserface’s friend! Rawr!

> Spill the beans Sal! who’s is the mystery Ex!? > Have steamy thoughts about Ex. > Think about your Ex. What were they like?

Steamy!? Oh no, um…

Wouldn’t that be rude? Since they’re not here?? You avoided thinking about them for so long you aren’t sure what to think. Either way, you finally think about Kennedy, your ex. You think about all the late night chats you had, and all the letters you wrote to them… They were really nice and really cool and uh.. ok maybe you kinda miss them a lot.

> Guess we should pick a direction and walk until we find something or run into Inevitable Death.

> Run down to one end of the hallway, if there is in fact an end, then to the other end. 

> Let’s see, you have to be careful because of that nightmare you saw, you don’t want to be seen. Try going prone! Solid snake style!

> Use your wicked multiplication skills to find out how many doors there are. 

> wave torch as high as you can. is there any visible ceiling?

Yep there’s a ceiling. No light fixtures you can see, though.

> Ask your new friend, Eraserface, what he thinks is best. Also brake pencil in half and draw a face on the pencil eraser. Now he will have a friend.

Eraserface doesn’t have much to say. You try to make him a friend, but with your DULL PENCIL, the face gets a little smudged. This isn’t your best work.

>  Contemplate why you have a square head. Are you human? Robot? What is the last thing you remember? Who is Sal?

You’re pretty sure you’re just Sal. A normal person. There isn’t even that much too remarkable about you, and all in all, you think you’re pretty plain as people go. You can’t really remember much either... Like you seem to remember basic knowledge, like multiplication tables and such, but not much about yourself. You knew that that last room was yours at one point... And that you lived there with your ex. But that’s about it.

>  Check inventory

Before you move forward, you check what you’ve got in your pockets. You have a DULL PENCIL, ERASER WITH FACE, WARDROBE KEY, LIGHTER and TORRCH.

> combine the key and torch 

> combine pencil and key

You have nothing to combine these items with, they wouldn’t stay together.

> Make a mini torch out of the pencil to now have TWO torches for double the light

> Vow to smell like a peasant, dress like a peasant, and be on fire like a peasant. 

> Throw baby

What do you think this is, PeasantQuest? You’ve sworn to yourself that you are DONE WITH FIRE for a while.

>  do you remember what is behind the other doors?

You try to remember what is behind the other doors... but nothing comes to mind, unfortunately.

> Is there a way to light up this hallway?

You don’t see any light switches, but you do have your Torch. You can’t see very far though. It seems to go on forever.

>Is this the part where we go meticulously through every door to see if its locked? Or maybe we should look around first, try to find someplace where whatever was watching us... won't be. >Look left, look right, chances are one of these ways will kill you.

You shudder. You look down both ways of the hallway, but it’s pitch black. You can’t see any light on either side of the hallway. Thankfully, you don’t see any sign of... whatever that was.

>Does the key work on any of the other doors? if so let's see what is behind door numero uno!

You take the key and try to open the two doors adjacent to your Room door. No luck, they both don’t work. It’s easy to say that this key probably wont work on all the other doors you see.

{Sorry for the lack of prompt posts, we’ve both been busy with preparations for Christmas/ Working retail during the holidays/ School finals so rest assured, we’ll have posts out soon!

> Guess it’s time to shove that key into the keyhole. Where we just saw a monster(?) eye. Because that’s clearly a Good Idea with Zero Negative Repercussions.

> pick up the key, then use the key on the keyhole, then burn the key.

> USE KEY IN KEY/EYE HOLE DO IT WITH HASTE!!!!

Guess there’s nothing else to do in here besides move ahead. You insert the key into the keyhole and turn it, thankfully hearing a -click-.

Success! It was the right key. You move ahead into the darkness.

Oh. Uh… Hm.

>  Time to get a better look at what's on the other side of the door, putting the torch through if necessary.

Well I guess you’re not getting out that way. There’s only brick behind that door. No wonder it was so strong.

>  what's that at your feet? pick it up! uhhh carefully though so it doesn't get lit on fire

You caaaarefully pick up the envelope--

> BURN ENVELOPE

OH GOD NOT AGAIN

... oh. Well that wasn’t so bad. And hey look, there was a key in the envelope. You got a key.

>Use the pencil in your inventory to stab the eye.

You're shaking. You grab the pencil from your inventory but when you turn around, the eye is gone.

You remember that you were going to check the note on the wardrobe and take it down from the door.

>What's with that light coming from the dresser? Also, now's a good time to take a peek into that other room. >Inspect that mysterious wardrobe! Particularly the note and also the beam of.. light...? The mystery line

You take note of the note and investigate the source.

>that torch isn't going to burn the desk is it?

>FAN THE FIRE AWAY WITH THE JACKET?? >Try to beat the fire out with the rug? (Maybe check what that thing under the rug is, but putting the fire out takes top priority.) >Pull the cover off of your bed to smother the fire before it gets too big and resolve to Never Deal With Fire Again

"You act quickly. You wedge the torch in a drawer so it doesnt set anything else on fire and grab the rug, beginning to beat the fire down.

It was early enough to where it gets extinguished pretty quickly. Besides the torch, Never Dealing With Fire again sounds like a good plan.

The good news is, through all that you now have a light source, and can see in the room now.

>s....spit on the fire

You spit on the charred area for good measure.

>Perhaps by the light of the fire we can now see an alternate exit from the room?

> Attempt to set the door on fire

> Okay wait maybe construct a rudimentary torch from available resources and light it (so we don't have to keep our finger on the lighter to have light). Though burning down the door still seems like a good idea

You make a torch from the ruler in your desk and a torn piece of the bedsheet and light it on fire. It seems to work well enough. Now, about that door... 

You set the door on fire. 

Oh no.

...Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all. The door is really on fire now, and so will the rest of the room if you don’t do something quick.

> panic!! jossle the drawer to unjam it!! jossle the whole desk!! cry a little

You’ve royally fucked this one. The drawers still locked and no amount of jossling will open it. You did manage to knock the chair over, though. 

> Perhaps check this jacket for some mechanism to get out of this accursed room?

Oh, there’s a lighter in the coat pocket! Maybe now you have some light.

> Look at contents of wardrobe.

 On your way to the wardrobe, your foot catches on something. Thankfully, you catch yourself before you completely fall over. The wardrobe’s unlocked. Your jacket is inside.

At this point in time, since we have an average of 2-4 responses per-update, we are making sure to answer or include the general meaning of each response we receive.

That being said, there may be times that an action is suggested, but we are working on a post or two in advance that have not been posted, thanks to our turn-out. We may have to skip or ignore those asks that are sent in too late. For now, anticipate that your ask will be responded to.

In the future, this may change if we receive a larger audience. In the case of that, we will let you all know that we will be answering based on the general consensuses of the suggestions. When that happens, we hope that there will be a community of people that can talk among themselves about what the best course of action would be for Sal and generating theory.

We want to formally thank you for your interest in our game! It’s very exciting and liberating to have this many people responding under a week after launch! We hope for your continued support!

> Lock pick the bottom drawer with a pencil.

> Now that you checked the desk drawers, what about ON the desk itself?

You try to somehow pick the lock with the pencil, but you're not very good at it. The graphite breaks off in the lock as you try, jamming firmly.

There is nothing on the desk.

> draw a face on your eraser. this is important

You take the pencil and try to draw a face on the eraser. You think you did an ok job, but you cant see your work yet. You pocket the pencil and eraser.

> What do you do?
