Pas De Deux
Linus Åkesson
Release 1, 2019-09-23
Striding into the spotlight, you smile as you look out over the crowd. It's a good turnout tonight. Now it is up to the Bournebrook Rill Community Orchestra and you, maestro Nevada Elmsbee, to deliver a spectacular performance. Keep an eye on your score—or don't!—in this multi-layered parser/choice hybrid. Casually explore the interactive scene, or tackle the full puzzle lurking underneath to reach the best ending. Available for the web (recommended) and as a traditional Z-machine story file.
Å-machine web interpreter v0.2.2

This game can be played by typing commands at the prompt, or by clicking on highlighted words. It is possible to reach a good ending using either method, but some typing is required to unlock every part of the narrative.

For an authentic experience, please print out a double-sided copy of the enclosed score extract, and make notes with a soft pencil.

Before we begin, a matter of preference: You are Nevada Elmsbee, artistic director of the Bournebrook Rill Community Orchestra, and you have a big performance tonight. Do you wear a suit or a dress?
