Walkthrough for Grue by Charles Mangin
This was an entry in IFComp 2017. It is rather clever. You play a grue who is hungry and needs to
eat an adventurer. Amusingly, OPEN EYES ruins your other senses.

You start out in your Lair. But you cannot stay forever.
>OUT
To Darkness, which will be familiar.
>SMELL
Now, you're in a room called cavern. You must sense an adventurer. The logic works as follows:
you must chase them through four rooms, using a diffrent sense every time.
I recommend using the up-arrow key, then home, then delete, to change the verbs, since
"adventurer" is quite long to type out. Of course, two up arrows may avoid any typing for
FOLLOW ADVENTURER.
>SMELL ADVENTURER
>FOLLOW ADVENTURER
Back to Darkness, deeper into the tunnel.
>HEAR ADVENTURER
>FOLLOW ADVENTURER
Back to Darkness, deeper into the grotto.
>TASTE ADVENTURER
>FOLLOW ADVENTURER
Back to Darkness, deeper into the hollow.
>FEEL ADVENTURER
The location name changes to hollow. You've covered all four senses.
>FOLLOW ADVENTURER
Down to the pit!
It's possible to get in a no-win situation, since you have five turns to kill the adventurer,
and it takes two turns to prep and kill.
>hide
If you want, SLAVER.
Note ATTACK ADVENTURER doesn't work.
>EAT ADVENTURER
