You can't see waiting for the light's note sheet...I don't suppose anyone's seen it?

All you need for the note sheet is a scrap of paper anyway.

"The notesheet in waiting still isn't there :)"

The notesheet is meant to be just blank.

Waiting For The Light is stunning. I can see why it's award winning. Nice work.

Hi Everyone. Its been a while since I posted to this guestbook, but I've some questions regarding waiting for the light. First and formost, what exactly is the object of the game? I take it from various endings I've reached its to escape some facility, but what exactly? The introduction tells you practically nothing. Also, how is it possible to determine whether you've reached the best conclusion to an individual section? Without any aim or objective, its really hard to decide what's right and wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

One of the things I liked most about Waiting for the Light was that lack of mission. Instead it was like emerging from darkness into light, everything being new and mysterious, knowing nothing except having a vague sense of who you are.

I enjoyed Waiting for the Light a great deal. Here are my thoughts on what it all means:

So there you go. I thought it was an elegant and interesting composition, that reminded me a little of Adam Cadre's Photopia. Nice work!

Aiken:
Very interesting to read your views on Waiting for the Light and you're not a million miles away. The Douglas Adams thing is particularly interesting as it was completely unintentional on my part - spooky.

Ibrahim:
It's not really clear what actions are right in each scenario. What seems "right" in the mini-scenario may not be "right" for the adventure as a whole. It might be a bit easier to work out the correct solution if you play the downloadable version instead of the online one as you'll be better able to see the mechanics of it.

Hey, I was wondering if the book "Waiting for the Light" was based on Erikson's stages of psychological development. I'm probably seeing things but it seems like the decisions you have to make are each mimicing a stage of Erikson's theory and the outcome is a hypothetical representation of a person based on the side of Erikson's stage you land on. I just want to know in case I'm putting way too much thought into it...or if it's supposed to be obvious and I'm asking stupid questions. Also, I don't think that I spoiled anything with my question.

Jasper - It isn't based on Erikson's work, though it is based on the work of a different psychologist (the quiz section has a clue to which one) so you're not putting too much thought into it.

Hi,

I really enjoy all of the gamebooks on this site. One of my newest favorites is Waiting for the Light. I especially love the game show part. It's pretty funny. Great job, everybody! I really hope that more gamebooks can be added to the site as fully playable, as that's the easiest way for me to play them. I am also visually impaired, and I really enjoy being able to play them right on the site.

Thanks!

I could never do that one either :-( Even though none of my choices were "obviously" wrong. For some help you could download the text version, read it and see if you can find out your mistake that way. It's what I did with Contractual Obligation. Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe someone else can give a better answer than me?

If you need to know exactly what to do, then just write again.
