How It Begins

You are camping in the desert at night on All Hallows' Eve when something awakens you. Absentmindedly, you stumble up to a cliff, look at the desert below, take a step, and another, and again... and then you're falling. Unafraid. It even seems natural when something with bluesilver wings rescues you and blackness enfolds you.

You wake up in a sun-bright grassy field, complete with babbling brook and an apple tree ripe with fruit.

Then, the game may pause to ask you a few questions, before you can go and explore:

Player gender: (m or f)>

Always print long introductory text? (yes or no)>

Always print long/verbose room descriptions? (yes or no)>

Release 2 with I/O

• Lethe Flow Phoenix (Dan Shiovitz; 18-Sep-1995; TADS 2).
  • IFID: TADS2-2B967DF13D9CFFF865CD173701EA3608
    IFID links: IFDB

Release 2 is basically a bug-fix version of release 1. The "with I/O" version includes a lethe.cfg file and requires a version of TADS that supports file I/O, to read and write this file. The lethe.cfg file should be in the same file folder as lethe.gam, and have its name in lowercase.

Release 2 without I/O

• Lethe Flow Phoenix (Dan Shiovitz; 18-Sep-1995; TADS 2).
  • IFID: TADS2-9983621FC00883FC615FCECD77ED5F2B
    IFID links: IFDB
  • Download lethe_noio.zip from the IF Archive

This alternate version of release 2 does not use a lethe.cfg file, and was created for users having problems running the "with I/O" version.
