About the Story

Venture with me into a mind-boggling world of strange beings, killer vegetables, dim-witted robots, suggestive statues, weird happenings, outrageous puns, and general absurdity...

WOMBATS I is reputed to take place on the remains of a college campus, although the architects have included quite a number of areas that have nothing whatever to do with higher education. Lower education, maybe.

Wombats I supposedly takes place on the remains of a college campus – although the majority of locations have nothing whatsoever to do with an educational institution. A mental institution, maybe, but definitely not an educational institution.

You will encounter rooms like a behavioural science lab, a restaurant with a dead maitre d', a waterfall of light, an auditorium, a discotheque, an electronics lab, cloud cuckoo land and much more. Each room has a long and colourful description like in an Infocom game. For example, the starting room (known as the compass room) is described as follows:

"You are standing in a large room with exits in all four directions. There is an ornate compass laid in multicoloured tiles on the floor and a large, lightly lit globe hangs overhead. The room is warm and the soft purr of an air filter can be heard in the distance."
