🧭 THE ARCHIVES

Quote of the day

The ship rocks from the force of multiple explosions. The lights go out, and you feel a sudden drop in pressure accompanied by a loud hissing. Too bad you weren't in the escape pod...

Factoid of the day

In Zork III, an earthquake occurs after about 150 turns. If you haven't completed a certain part of the story before the earthquake, the game cannot be finished. Frustratingly, there is no obvious way to know when the game has been soft-locked in this manner.

The INVISICLUES.ORG Infocomics Viewer is in beta testing. It works exactly like the original Infocomics, with these exceptions:

Bookmarks are stored as session data. You can have one bookmark per comic and they will persist across visits, but they will be erased when you close your browser.
During "jump" opportunities, you can click/tap the screen to change POV in addition to pressing/clicking/tapping Enter. (Outside of jump opportunities, clicking/tapping the screen pauses or plays.)
Forward/Back buttons jump forward or backwards 5 seconds per tap.

Please help in the beta testing by letting me know what you think and reporting any problems, bugs, or suggestions using the Contact link. Thanks!
