THE CABINDesign DocumentCIS 487Lucian Blebea10/18/2005Game Summary:This game is a text based fiction game. The game starts in the middle of the forestwhere the character realizes that he is lost, and tries to find his way back to the cabin. Thecharacter will then have to follow the trail to the tree stump, where he can pick up an axe for later use. The way to the old man is blocked by a locked gate. The character does not have the key to the gate, so, he has to come up with some other way to get passed the gate. There is a tree in front of the gate, so the player chops the tree, which falls on the gate and demolishes it. The player can now go forward. He meets the old man and asks for directions, but the old man refuses to help unless the character catches a squirrel for him. The character has to go back to the forest to find a squirrel, because that is the only place to find squirrels. When the character returns with a squirrel and hands it to the old man, the old man gives him a map of the area. The map is very useful and easy to understand. From then on the character follows the map, by first going to an abandoned trailer and then to the cabin. The game ends with the player reaching the cabin.List of objects:- Forest- Trail- Tree Stump- Squirrel - Axe- Locked Fence- Tree- Old Man- Map- Abandoned Trailer- CabinObject Interactions:The Forest: The player starts in the forest where he/she is lost trying to find the way to go back home.
