I'm stuck!
Submitted by Alisha on Fri, 03/14/2008 - 16:52.
So I've been playing Photopia for about 30 minutes now, and I can't seem to get anywhere without getting myself killed. I like this text interaction game better than adventure and zork mainly because it's funnier. the quotes are hysterical, but I'm starting to get frustrated because i can't seem to get to any other color than green part of the game. In adventure, it seems like it was easier to figure out what to do; you pick up a key, grab the lamp for dark places, and unlock doors when need be. Photopia isn't as straightforward in the mission, and whenever I try to get into a guarded place, I get killed. luckily there is an undo button!
the final part where is got stuck was when I was in the tower with the princess, attempting to take off her straight jacket. I can't seem to undo it, but if anyone can give some clues to what to do next, I'd appreciate it!

confused....?
It sounds like you're playing a totally different game/IF piece...
None of those situations are familiar to me, unless I'm just not understanding your description.
Or maybe I played the wrong thing... although the other blogs about Photopia make sense with what I experienced.
You shouldn't be able to "die" in a manner of speaking.
Maybe you're playing "Varicella," the IF piece above Photopia on Cadre's Web site?
problem solved
looks like I was playing the wrong game! thanks for your help!

Varicella?
Yeah, unless there's some secret mode I'm not aware of, I'm pretty sure there's no dieing or undoing in Photopia. It sounds like you're playing Varicella, as melfi suggests. If so, Photopia is a bit further down on Adam Cadre's download page.
