Book A - About and Credits

Requesting story information is an action out of world applying to nothing. Understand "about" or "help" or "info" as requesting story information.

Carry out requesting story information: say "[i]Scroll Thief[/i] is a fan sequel to the Enchanter trilogy, meant to clear up some of the mysteries from Spellbreaker (specifically, the four unknown Cubes of Foundation). The first section was released in an incomplete state for IntroComp 2014, in which it took second place. The full version was released a year later.[p]This is intended to emulate Infocom to some extent in the style of certain puzzles. However, unlike Infocom, it stays for the most part at Polite on Andrew Plotkin's cruelty scale. There are very few ways to get stuck irrevocably, and it should be clear if you do. So long as you don't destroy important objects for no reason you should be good, and RESTORE and UNDO are always available.[p]Hints are available as online InvisiClues at <http://bit.ly/1JUZ9ac>. Within the game, THINK will remind you of any unsolved puzzles you've encountered, and VERBS lists most of the commands you'll need in the game.[p]Draconis, the Implementor of this game, can be reached at <dsdraco7@gmail.com>. Type CREDITS to see the list of people who were involved in the design and testing. Source code is available for perusal at <https://bitbucket.org/dstelzer/scroll-thief/>."
