DESMOND AND GERTRUDE
written by "The Spud"
This is an engaging game, a tongue-in-cheek look at two lovers desperate to be
together. The object of the game is for the two lovers to meet at the Secret Cave, and
each has to get there on their own. In order to complete the game, you must "switch"
from one character to another, as Desmond needs something that Gertrude has and
she has to give it to him. It does not matter which character you start with. To switch,
type SWAP.
There are several uncessary objects in the game, and several false moves which will
result in not being able to end the game.
This walkthru begins with Gertrude.
