Attack Of The Yeti Robot Zombies! : If you have 20 minutes to spare for I.F.

... here's an interesting concept.
You have to play it through and win on the first attempt. Without saving and reloading.

You can download it here:

If you don't have stuff to play Z5 files, get Gargoyle here :

Funny!

A text-based FPS/survival horror, complete with silly one-liners and everything...

I don't really see the point in artificially imposing "no saving and reloading" rule on oneself here, though, but whatever. Attack Of The Yeti Robot Zombies (Why haven't you mention the title in your post? It would attract more attention!

) is perfectly enjoyable without it, I thought. Especially as getting it right in the first try requires as much luck as cleverness. And every possible death sequence is tempting to be tried just because of the humour.

Anyway. I won in my third attempt, with one bullet left, and then quickly improved the bullet count to the optimal one (or the one mentioned in the AMUSING things to do, anyway) in the next playthrough.

You're right buddy, I have changed the title

I managed to finish it the first time but without the optimal bullet count, by the way.

Although I do enjoy examining objects for more clues in text games, I really appreciate how the author here managed to put all the necessary information in room descriptions, yet without making the puzzles brainlessly easy.

(By the way, it's freeware, so I am moving the thread to Underground.)
