We’re just sitting here watching the wheels go round & round…

I'm interested to play. I played a bit the other day, but I think it was bugged during my time with it. I used to play 1980s text adventures, so this seems very cozy to me. Can somebody tell me, if it's not considered a spoiler, do you play as John Lennon or as yourself?

You are John Lennon.

But you have your own account, your own id and you win points while playing - in the narrative you are John.

Randomly remembered that Sean loves escape rooms so he kinda built his own! Was he hinting something all this time and we didn’t realize…?

Escape rooms are fun!

Any old Homestar Runner fans? I typed "Get ye flask" a few times to see what happens.

 

[Mariana Fraga]

The game is back on, Nutopians

 

[LordGoodgod]

YES!!! So ready to hop back into this.

 

[Mariana Fraga]

YES!!! So ready to hop back into this.

LET'S GOOOOOO

 

[LordGoodgod]

Whoever behind the scenes came up with the idea to mention this, you're brilliant...!! I love how the details can get this esoteric in relation to John!!

Thanks and praise to the team for getting the game started again.

I have a question for the group about Spotify.

Is the music from Spotify merely an enhancement to the atmosphere of the game environment, or are there clues and hints I would be missing by playing the game in silence?

I signed up for a free Spotify account, but have never heard any music playing the game.
No matter how many times I use the connect spotify command, as soon as I get to the move early in the game where apparently I should hear something playing, I get an error message.

Could someone kindly describe, under a

Spoiler

spoiler

as appropriate, the first music you hear and how it continues as the game progresses?

Any help or hints within the bounds of non-disclosure agreements and best forum manners would be appreciated.
Feel free to contact me privately if in doubt.

I was ten years old when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, so I'm well over 70, and I could use some help from you folks you grew up with smart phones from childhood.

I have never used Spotify, as I have ethical issues with its corporate practices, and it has no Atmos capabiliity.
I am playing the game on an 8-year-old desktop iMac in the Safari browser app.

Peace, out.

Here’s what our friend GDN said about the songs:

If typing connect to Spotify doesn’t play, try clicking on the icon on the bottom left. The songs are supposed to start playing in specific moments - including one when you type the first action that gets the game going, yes. Maybe cleaning the website’s cache will help, but that will also delete your progress in the game. The first page was supposed to take you to a login tab, maybe that’s the problem, it didn’t connect to your account therefore it can’t connect to Spotify.

The music from Spotify is the soundtrack to the game. It's both an enhancement and a source of clues. You need a paid subscription for it to work properly. If you are having problems getting it to connect or work properly, please type:

connect spotify

Thanks for the reply.

If it's a source of clues, I guess it's worth continuing to troubleshoot, but maybe you should direct me to a help desk.
It is rapidly becoming more trouble than it is worth to me.

Once again:

I signed up for a basic free spotify subscription. Do I need to pay $12 a month for an ad-free subscription to play the game?
I have the app running in a window.




On my Apple desktop computer, in the Safari browser, one move into the game, I get this screen:



Typing "connect spotify" at this point restarts the game and sends me back to this screen:



It's like groundhog day. Endless loop.

I'm having fun and some success, without whatever "sonic clues" I may be missing.

Carry on.

you need a *paid* subscription for it to function correctly. Sorry if this was unclear.

I hope this doesn't count as a spoiler, but. sometimes it's hard to get a command exactly right I can't figure out how to go to the north side of the hallway when I'm in the south side, can anyone help?? Is there a specific thing you're supposed to say or am I missing something?

Perhaps there is no north to go from that point. Try going to a different one instead

Ps. If you have the Mind Games standalone book that might help too, you can guide yourself better by checking the apartment’s plans there

If the descriptions in the hallways seem to be a bit unclear, there may be something you need to do first, before going further north, to wake yourself up a bit.

Thanks for this info. I was having the same problem.

That did the trick, many thanks, now hearing the soundtrack.

I was offered a free three-month trial in a marketing email that arrived 24 hours after signing up for the free service, for anyone else who is not already a paying customer of the ethically suspect Spotify mega-corporation.
