You don't wake up. [[End. ->end1]]

You wake up. You see that you are in a tent on some sandy ground. You feel a slight *grumble* from your stomach. You should probably find something to eat... [[Look around tent.]] [[Leave.]]

Ending 1 Goodnight... You fell asleep some time ago and never woke up. Maybe its better this way.

(if: $canteen is false)[Looking at the sandy ground you see your canteen.] (if: $canteen is true)[There is nothing but sand.] (if: $canteen is false)[Thankfully the lid was on so you lost no water to the sand when you dropped from passing out.] (set: $canteen to true)(set: $water to 100) [[Leave.]]

You are able to feel the heat of the sand through your shoes.] From looking at your compass you can tell... [[North West-> To the city]] there are a lot of buildings, probably a delapidated city. [[South East-> To the crater]] there seems to be more sand dunes here than the rest of the desert, bigger ones too. [[Go back into tent]]

You decided to make your way to the city.(if:$incity is >=1) [ again...](if:$incity is >=2)[and again...](if:$incity is >=3)[and again...](if:$incity is >=4)[and again... you are tired and hungry... your stomach is begging you to eat...] (set: $hunger -=1) (set: $thirst -=1) [[Continue -> in city]]

You go back into the tent. [[Look around tent.]] [[Leave.]]

(if: $incity is >1)[welcome back...](if: $incity is 0)[The sandy terrain made the trek annoying, that alongside the sun harassing you with its heat. Your clothes are starting to feel sticky from sweat.] [[Look around -> buildings]] [[Go back to the tent ->Citytotent]]

Ending 2 Sands under trail You thought it was a good idea to get some exercise and kept going back to the tent and city. You also forgot that it takes time and energy. You pass out... never waking up.

(if: $dunes <=0)[The sandy dunes make them hard to treverse and even harder to climb...] (set: $hunger -=5)(set: $thirst -=5) There is a massive crater with a huge rock in the center. You might be able to [[Slide down the sand ->meteor]] [[Go back ->dunesdeath]] (set: $dunes =1)

You slide down to the bottom using the sandy slope of the crater... [[Examine Rock-> yeahitsameteor]] [[Go back up ->cantlol]]

You feel like you don't have enough energy to go back over. [[oh... -> over the dunes.]]

[[You cant get back up.. -> ending3]] [[Examine Rock-> yeahitsameteor]]

The large rock seems like it crashed here. Maybe the crater was caused by it. [[Go back up ->cantlol]]

Ending 3 Well that's just crate You realise that you cant get back up... Using all of your energy getting over the dunes you are exhausted... you pass out never to wake up...

Amongst the ruined buildings there isn't much that is noteworthy aside from... A [[gas station->Gas]] A [[Pharmacy]] and a [[hotel -> hotelopen]] [[Go back to the tent ->Citytotent]]

You enter the gas station. (set: $wherelast to "gas station") Any lights that aren't smashed on the floor are currently off. The shelves seem empty. [[Check behind the counter ->Counter]] [[Look around for storeroom ->Storeroom]] [[leave ->Back2city]]

You step through the shattered glass doors into the hotels lobby. (set: $wherelast to "hotel") The elevators doors are closed and the stairs have been broken. [[Climb up the broken stairs ->aptfirstfloor]] (if: $elevator is not "tried")[ [[Press the elevators buttons ->Elevator]] ] [[Leave ->Back2city]]

You hop over the counter going behind... The cash registers have been bashed open and the contents presumably stolen. What's the point of money if there's no one around? There are [[cabinets]] underneath the counter... [[check documents-> storecode]] [[Back to shop ->Gas]] [[Go to storeroom ->Storeroom]] [[leave ->Back2city]]

There is a door in front of you with a numberpad, presumably leading to the gas stations store room. [[input code ->codeinput]] [[back to counter->Counter]]

(set: $thirst -=2)] (set: $firstfloor to "true") (link-reveal: "Check doors")[ - After checking all of the doors, two rooms are able to be opened. [[Room 19]] [[Room 14]]]

The buttons do not light up. (set: $elevator to "tried") The doors do not open. There is no power. (set: $bear to false) The elevator is useless. [[oh, right-> hotel]]

You enter room 19. You hear the squelch of soggy clothes beneath your feet. The earthy aroma of mildew enters your nostrils. There is a drip coming from the ceiling. In the middle of the room is a bed, (link-reveal:"There seems to be something under the sheets...")[ A small skeleton(if:$bear is false)[ hugging a plush bear].] (click-replace:" hugging a plush bear.")[(set: $bear to true).

You enter room 14 There is an open window. There seems to be a piece of metal outside it. (click-replace:"There seems to be a piece of metal outside it.")[It's what's left of a fire escape. It looks like with a bit of effort you'd be able to [[climb it.->ladder]]] There are some old dirty clothes scattered around the floor. Your stomach is starting to hurt from hunger. [[Go to room 19 ->Room 19]]

You jump out of the window reaching out to the ladder... (set: $hunger -=1) (set: $thirst -=2) You barely manage to get a grip and climb up it into the next room. [[Climb through the window->Room 46]]

You enter a room. There are two unmade beds. There are some cockroaches scurring on the floor and walls. [[Grab the cockroaches->Cockroach1]] [[Leave the room->hallway]]

You grab a fistful of cockroaches. You feel them trying to escape your grasp. [[Put them in your mouth->cockroach2]] [[Drop them->cock3]]

As you stand in the doorway you see something out the window, it seems like a sandstorm [[Look out the window -> fall]] There is a giant hole where the hallway should be. (set: $canteen to false) [[Try to leave to another room ->slip]]

You stick a fistful of cockroaches in your mouth. You feel them (text-style:"shudder")[crawling] in your mouth. [[Chew.]]

You decide not to eat the cockroaches. [[Leave the room->hallway]]

You chew, the crunch of the cockroaches giving you an unpleastant feeling. They taste kind of like blue cheese. [[Swallow.]] <audio src ="https://www.mboxdrive.com/Crunching%20Sound%20Effect.mp3" autoplay>

You swallow the cockroaches. (set: $hunger = $hunger + 2) (set: $thirst = $thirst + 4) Disgusting. [[Leave the room->hallway]]

You didn't realize there was a giant hole where the hallway should be and fell straight to bottom. [[Continue ->fell]]

As you try to make your way to a safer room you slip and fall down the hole. [[continue ->fell]]

Luckily the fall didn't hurt you too much. Unluckily you fell into a part of the hotel that has been blocked off, most likely to the building collapsing on itself. There is a giant hole in the wall to the outside Look around (click-replace:"Look around")[Your canteen must've fell out your pockets during the fall... you pick it back up.

Ending 4 Water way to go. You didn't drink enough and passed out from dehydration, never to awake.

You enter the main room of the cabin. Compared to the previous buildings, this one is much cleaner. You are able to see over the counter that there is a kitchen. There are also two more doors. one ajar leading to the [[bathroom]] one closed. [[Go through closed door.->dababie]] [[Check kitchen.]]

You enter the bathroom. The bath is empty. The toilet has been replaced with a bucket, stained. [[Check kitchen.]] [[Check the closed door.->dababie]]

As you enter the door slowly creaks open. You can hear the sound of a babys coo coming from a cradle against the wall.

You decide to leave the cabin and make your way back into the endless desert. [[Continue -> end5]]

Ending 5 Lost in the sands. You realise you don't have enough food, water, or energy to make your way back to the city or the cabin. You lay down in the sand letting the heat of the sun take you out of consciousness. You got one of the true/final endings! Congratulations.

Ending 7. Survivor. You did it. You have survived for now. You should have enough food and liquid to keep on going for a while. You brutualized an entire family for your own selfish gain.
