Quetzal

The summer sun warms you as you stare at the five-story tower in front of you. Though the windows, guarded by bars and a thick layer of muck, don't reveal much of the interior, this tower has always given you an odd sensation. Today is the day you alleviate it by venturing inside. The front door is warped and rotted, the knob scuffed and dull. You reach out, a chill running up your spine.

The door opens, light pouring into the dark foyer. A thick layer of dust billows at your feet with each step. You leave the door open so you can search the room, but see nothing of interest. [[Go right.|Sun Room]] [[Go left.|Hallway 1]]

You arrive at a giant, open labratory. Several beakers are full of liquid and there is a bird's cage sitting open at the end. A brightly colored quetzal rests on top, staring at you. The bird squawks with pleasure and flits away, over to a pile of paper on a [[desk|Desk]]. You look around some more and notice the filing cabinets. Should you [[open|Cabinets]] them? Looking even furhter, you notice a [[skeleton|Body]] clutching a piece of paper in his hand. Then again, this place is giving you the creeps. Maybe going back [[downstairs|Hallway 9]] would be best.

<div class="title">''"Quetzal"'' is a text-based adventure game. Explore rooms within the Tower to discover new things about the building's dark history. Find notes that reveal secrets about the history or about the house. The goal of the game is to find everything you can inside the house and make it out alive. You accomplish this task by making choices that may or may not decide your outcomes. Each choice has a different influence on the story's ending. Will you escape alive? [[Back to menu.|Menu]] </div>

You open the door, the light blinding you for a moment just as the monster nears your feet. You get a quick glimpse at it before you shut the metal door: Red eyes set in a scaly snake head glare at you before the door clangs shut. It was brightly colored, like the quetzal that had accompanied you within the house, and it had wings that were just as beautiful. Still, the monster's snarls would haunt you forever.
