There were tons of dialog options!
Saturday night, I dreamed I was in an Adventure Game.
There were at least three distinct time periods, and I could travel between them for some reason. The one in the “past” was some sort of party, there was a “future” where I was in some sort of TV or Movie studio where something involving puppets was being filmed, and the “present”, which was in some sort of apartment complex, as well as some woods outside.
The puzzles seemed to revolve heavily around this item I had. It looked like a Compact Flash Memory Card reader, but it was a “Lip Scanner.” I was having to convince people to kiss it in order to get a perfect scan of their lips and a selection of their genetic makeup for some damn reason. I built up a really big collection of people, both past and present. I think I was establishing lineage? Maybe? But there were other things.
The one puzzle I remember clearly was me trying to make a fountain spring of someone spit. Seriously. To do this involved blocking an already existing spring with a rock, and using the lip scanner to make some spare saliva. Then somehow, all of this got into a water fountain at the party in the past, and I had the guy confirm that it was his spit by tasting it. And then that had the spring become a saliva spring. Yeah, I have no fucking idea either.
Moral of the Story: Adventure games are really fucking weird, man. Really fucking weird. Or I guess, maybe it’s my dreams that are really weird.
