Frequently-Asked Questions

How do I get help when I need it?

Aside from the Players' Guide, your best sources are other players, and the many Dungeon and Zork wikis and walk-throughs you can find via Google.

We suggest though that, like generations of adventurers before you, you save these resources for last resorts. The fun is figuring things out.

"Game designers like to think that games are different than stories. Although games and stories can contain similar elements, there are some things that games can do but stories can't. This viewpoint is known as Ludology (from the Latin for game, ludus).

In the past, though, creators of other new media — theatre, film, television — have also thought this, only to be proven wrong. So are game designers wrong? Or is there something about games that is fundamentally unobtainable from stories?"
