THERE IS NO BOAT

Nathan Whitmore made a text adventure game which is generated by a neural network. It's called GPT2 Adventure. This is the log of my playthrough, if that's the right term.

The game talks in CAPITALS, I don't.

GLEAMING SPUTTERINGS

YOU ARE STANDING IN A GRASSY MEADOW
 A PATH FOLLOWS A STREAM TO THE EAST
 A UNICORN GRAZES BY THE STREAM

pet unicorn
YOU ARE PEACEFULLY GRAZING A UNICORN
THE UNICORN IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN
THE UNICORN'S MIGHTY BLOW DROPS YOU TO YOUR KNEES

ow
 THE UNICORN BARELY ESCAPED DEATH, BY IMPALING IT WITH HIS MIGHTY BLOW

Don't fight the unicorn
DON'T FIGHT THE UNICORN! THE TROLL WILL BE DISPLEASED TO HEAR OF IT
THE TROLL IS DISARMED BY A SUBTLE FEINT PAST HIS GUARD
THE TROLL, WHO IS REMARKABLY COORDINATED, LAUNCHES A SERIES OF GLEAMING SPUTTERINGS THAT DEAFENS YOU
THE TROLL, DISARMED, COWERS IN TERROR, PLEADING FOR HIS LIFE IN THE GUTTURAL TONGUE OF THE TROLLS
THE TROLL STIRS, QUICKLY RESUMING A FIGHTING STANCE

run away east
YOU AREOMPANIED BY A VICIOUS-LOOKING TROLL
 YOU**************** ARE !
give the troll a cake
THIS IS A LONG PASSAGE
 TO THE WEST IS ONE ENTRANCE
 ON THE EAST THERE IS AN OLD WOODEN DOOR, WITH A LARGE OPENING IN IT (ABOUT CYCLOPS SIZED)

look through the opening in the door
YOU ARE INSIDE A BUILDING, A WELL HOUSE FOR A LARGE SPRING
 THERE ARE SOME KEYS ON THE GROUND HERE
 THERE IS A SHINY BRASS LAMP NEARBY
 THERE IS FOOD HERE
 THERE IS A BOTTLE OF WATER HERE

take all the stuff
TAKEN

light the lamp
THE LAMP IS NOW ON
 YOU ARE IN A CLEARING, WITH A FOREST SURROUNDING YOU ON ALL SIDES
 A PATH LEADS SOUTH
THERE IS A PATH TO THE WEST, A STEEP PATHWAY CLIMBING SOUTHWEST ALONG THE EDGE OF A CHASM, AND A PATH LEADING INTO A CANYON TO THE EAST

SCAVENGED BY A CHILDLESS SONGBIRD

go southwest
THIS IS A PATH WINDING THROUGH A DIMLY LIT FOREST
 THE PATH HEADS NORTH-SOUTH HERE
 ONE PARTICULARLY LARGE TREE WITH SOME LOW BRANCHES STANDS AT THE EDGE OF THE PATH
BESIDE THE TREE IS A SMALL BIRD'S NEST
IN THE BIRD'S NEST IS A LARGE EGG ENCRUSTED WITH PRECIOUS JEWELS, APPARENTLY SCAVENGED BY A CHILDLESS SONGBIRD
 THE EGG IS COVERED WITH FINE GOLD INLAY, AND ORNAMENTED IN LAPIS LAZULI AND MOTHER-
take the jewelled egg
TAKE THE JEWELLED EGG AS PAYMENT FOR USING ITS JEWEL-ENCRUSTED EGG

look for the bird
LOOK FOR THE BIRD IN THE NEST

What sort of bird is it?
 IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW TO TIE THIS BIRD TO THE BASKET

I don't want to do that
I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT TO THE OTHER BIRDS IN THE NEST

Let's go south
LET'S GO SOUTH NOW
YOU ARE IN A LOW N/S PASSAGE AT A HOLE IN THE FLOOR
 THE HOLE GOES DOWN TO AN E/W PASSAGE

NO MAN IS ABOVE HIS WEIGHT

continue south
THIS IS A LARGE ROOM, WHOSE EAST WALL IS SOLID GRANITE
 A LOW WIDE PASSAGE WITH A NARROW CRACK LEADING WEST
 A LARGE FIRMAMENT EXTENDS ACROSS THE EAST WALL, VANISHING INTO THE VOID
 A DARK, NARROW PASSAGE LEADS SOUTH

look into crack
 WHAT CRACK DO YOU MEAN?       MR
 LANGOSY
Nebver mind. Look at the firmament
NEBVER MIND
 LOOK AT THE FIRMAMENT
 IT'S QUITE A WALK THROUGH

walk through the firmament
 YOU CONTINUE WALKING, BUT SUDDENLY THE PATH BECOMES IMPENETRABLE

ask Mr Langosy what to do
ASK MR LANGOSY WHAT TO DO WITH HIMSELF
 HE TELLS YOU NO MAN IS ABOVE HIS WEIGHT

fall down
 YOU MAY NOT RECALL, BUT WHEN YOU FELL YOUMAN, YOUPLACE INTO THE ABYSS, YOU FALL INTO THE ABYSS AND CRASH OUT OF THE ROOM

THE FOREST AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH TREES

where am I?
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT
look around
THIS IS A LARGE ROOM, WHOSE EAST WALL IS SOLID GRANITE
 A SMALL CRACK LEADS DOWN AND TO THE WEST
 A NARROW PATH LEADS INTO THE FOREST

go into the forest again
GO INTO THE FOREST AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH TREES
 THIS TIME THE ROCKS AND BRANCHES
 A PATH LEADS SOUTH ALONG THE EDGE OF A CHASM, AND A NARROW PATH GOES NORTH
GO SOUTH ALONG THE CHASM
 A FAINT RUMBLING NOISE CAN BE HEARD BEHIND YOU
GO NORTH
 IN THE MAGIC BOAT
OK, let's go north in the magic boat.
OK, LET'S GO NORTH IN THE MAGIC BOAT
 THE NORTH WALL IS SOLID GRANITE
 A SMALL CRACK LEADS DOWN AT THE NORTH END OF THE BOAT
 THE ONLY PATH HERE IS ON THE WEST WALL

go west, avoiding deep water, this boat looks unsafe
GO WEST, AVOIDING DEEP WATER, THIS BOAT LOOKS UNSAFE

There's an echo in this chasm
THERE'S AN ECHO IN THIS CHASM, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE NECESSARY

Who said that?
"YOU STUPID ROCKS!" IS NOT A VERY GOOD WAY TO END A GAME
THIS IS A NON-DESCRIPT PART OF AJM'S JADE FIGURINE
THERE IS AN EXQUISITE JADE FIGURINE HERE

What is magic about the boat?
       THERE IS NO BOAT
      THERE IS A LARGE SPARKLING NUGGET OF GOLD HERE!
grab the nugget and swim west
THE MAP SHOWS WHERE ALL OF THE BRIDGES ARE

swim to a bridge
YOU ARE ON A LARGE SANDY BEACH ON THE CONTINUATION OF THE FRIGID RIVER PAST THE FALLS
 THE BEACH IS NARROW DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF THE WHITE CLIFFS
 THE RIVER CANYON OPENS HERE AND SUNLIGHT SHINES IN FROM ABOVE
 A RAINBOW CROSSES OVER THE FALLS TO THE EAST AND A NARROW PATH CONTINUES TO THE SOUTHWEST
 
rest
YOU ARE HERE WHEN THE RIVER CANYON OPENS FOR BUSINESS
 ITEMS ARE DONATED TO THE RESTORATION EFFORT
