This is a walkthrough for "The Eleusinian Miseries" by Mike Russo, as entered into the 2020 IF Comp. The walkthrough, as is the way of such things, will get you to the end of the game, but only sees one of the endings and few of the jokes (though depending on your point of view, that may be more of a feature than a bug). It's likely better to use the in-game hints, accessed via HELP, which include exact solutions, and use this walkthrough as a last resort.
