Further (further-wt.txt)

Walkthrough for Further, by Will Hines

This is game from IFComp 2013 with some pleasing symmetry. There are a few items indicated by
colored text. Rooms also each have their own colored text. You may guess that thi is how things
match up, and you'd be right.

So you can solve things by exploration and trial and error, but in case you want more, here is a
walkthrough.

I always enjoyed the text-color effects and how I could revisit the solution just by looking at a
map I made, but for first-time solvers, here you go. I still find it straightforward but
interesting.

Extensive flavors of colored text are usable in z-machine format but not glulx, which only allows
two custom styles and thus two colors, unless you redefine italics/bold as another color.
