Milliways: the Restaurant at the End of the Universe

by Max Fog profile

Science fiction comedy
2023

About the Story

In Milliways: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, every step you take has an equal probability of sending you over the edge of perilous cliff drops or spinning into the stratosphere. But before that all happens, you have a choice: should you hitchhike the galaxy, or stay home and drink beer?

Oh, right. That was in the first game.

As this game begins, you find yourself on the ramp leading from the hatchway down to the surface of the legendary lost planet of Magrathea. Soon, you will find yourself exploring dead planets, escaping white mice, navigating the fjords of Norway, and of course - at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe!

What it is about: Welcome to the follow-up to the Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy. You arrive on a strange planet and do all sorts of wacky things, but you will sometimes be jumping around in the dark-literally, so it’s best not to deviate from the main path. Get ready for a very long ride.

IFComp 2023: Max Fog’s Milliways: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
So I was looking forward to this quite a bit: it’s an entry was partly written back in the Infocom days but abandoned unfinished when they stopped making games. The author has dragged out the incomplete source code and made it into a finished game. And, of course, it’s the sequel to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, one of the best (and most unfairly difficult) games Infocom put out.
