\f0\fs24 \cf0 The basic walkthrough:\
\
to get to the bathroom before embarrassing yourself:\
\
u/n/x mailbox/open mailbox/get all/i/open pack/take key/open door with key/n/u/n/n/e\
\
to get the hamster in its ball:\
\
w/ne/unfold futon/take lid/take flashlight/sw/s/s/take rodent ball/open cage/take hamster/put hamster in rodent ball/close rodent ball/drop rodent ball\
\
the hamster will not find the opener for you unless it makes its way to the office:\
n/n/w\
\
you can wait here until the hamster rolls in, which is random, or you can instead drop the hamster (in the rodent ball) in the office, in which case it will find the opener immediately.  Once that has happened, you can complete the rest of your evening chores: \
\
take rodent ball/take opener/open rodent ball/e/s/s/take hamster/put hamster in cage/close cage/drop rodent ball/drop lid/drop mail/n/open cabinet/take soup can/open soup can/search shelves/take bowl/put soup in bowl/turn on faucet/put water in bowl/open microwave/put bowl in microwave/close microwave/turn on microwave/turn off faucet/put soup can in trash bag/close trash bag/open microwave/eat soup/put bowl in sink/take trash bag/s/turn on flashlight/s/s/s/ne/take garbage can/sw/drop garbage can/open garbage can/put trash bag in garbage can/close garbage can/n/n/close door/lock door with key/turn off flashlight/drop all/take off backpack/drop backpack/n\
\
at this point, you need to kill some time before you're sleepy and can go to bed.  You can try this, or any combination:\
\
read/sit on couch/take laptop/turn on laptop/surf the web/play/turn off laptop/drop laptop/n/n/n/get in bed/sleep\
\
note;  this determines what you dream about, but the game ends the same no matter what\
\
note: the following needs to be done before you can go to sleep:\
- i must be at least 11 pm (you can check your status with "x self"\
- you must have taken out the trash to the curb in the can\
- you must have closed and locked the front door, and closed the back door if you opened it\
- you must have put the hamster in the cage and closed it\
- you must have turned off the flashlight and the faucet\
- you must not be carrying or wearing anything\
- there must not be anything on the bed.}
