Haha, I'm so glad we got that ending. We saved all these people, and even better, we're planning to just show up at our house with them and expect our parents to take care of all of them :allears:

I wanna try to Spin the wheel, make the deal!

Go with the main floor because come on, main character, these are your new friends, don't freak out just 'cause they're a little weird. Now's a good time to get to know them

Gosh this one is exceptionally brutal. I wanna get a good ending out of not wandering around like a loon, though, so let's go with the VR CHAIR

That ending seems vaguely sinister, like the implication appears to be that we're still in VR. Let's look for mom.

I THINK the point was supposed to be that the 'vr' stuff was all real and like, astral projection or teleportation or something, and that's why you can die in the VR game, or something like that. Who knows, though, R.L. Stein never seemed to be against leaving plotholes and vagueness in his stories.

Anyway, yeah, let's go Look for mom at the start of the book.

Obviously the chimps are friends and this doctor guy seems nice enough. Let's visit the chimp room

We got the Tarzan ending, so I think we probably managed to get the best ending, so I'm satisfied. :v:

Listen to Todd since he's our only friend in this book so far, despite our insistence that he's lame, he's the only one who actually seems to want to be around us.

They were behind us, but then we turned around to look for them, so they're in front of us now. Therefore, they are not behind us.

Clever, I'm gonna go with this too

Well, we can either go with the magic of magnets, or get shot with a laser. I saw a movie once where a guy got shot with a laser and died. So... magnets.

This is good logic. magnets

Knowing this book series, eating the crumb could just as easily lead to us becoming friends with George of the Jungle or something.

And to be fair, Joanie is way way less annoying than some of the other siblings we've had to deal with so far in these books.

Take the darn book

Let's pick the other choice that our character can't actually choose.

Tenebrais posted:

I'd add one, that this book violates a lot - the choices available should be decisions your character makes. Not things like "do you wake up from unconsciousness" or "does your companion come back".

I actually rather like this concept when done well. If the book is supposed to be one where no path relates to the others, for instance, it can be fun, or one where you don't have a real 'character', like a god game in gamebook form.

This is terrible though.

Doesn't seem like that bad a result, honestly, your new pilgrim mom seems pretty rad.

I'm guessing this will make us not be an actor but the actual character in a fantasy or sci fi thing and be in danger or something :v:
