Forest Survival

Today is an exciting day! You have finished all the preparations for a trip that you were planning for a month ago: You are going to have a walking trip in a huge primeval forest for a few days. You will go with a professional guide and camp in the forest. You can't [[wait->First Day]] for it! (set: $HungryThirsty to true) (set: $ThirdDay to false) (set: $CheckEast to 1) (set: $Exhaust to 1) (set: $FindGuide to false) (set: $Mark to 0) (set: $Front to 0) (set: $Left to 0) (set: $Right to 0)

You are now in the forest with the guide. The entrance is already hidden by the plants. After walking for a whole day, the guide and you pitch a tent together and get ready for camping. You sleep relatively early [[today->Second Day Morning]] because there was nothing to do at night.

On the morning of the second day, you go for a walk around the tent while the guide is still sleeping. It is slightly foggy but not dangerous. However, the fog suddenly becomes dense. You can only see things in about one meter. You tried to go back but completely lose the direction. When the fog is gone, you are in a place that you don't know at all. You are [[lost->Second Day]] in the forest.

You are now lost in the forest. What are you going to do next? [[I should waiting right here, the guide should be looking for me at this time.->Second Day 1]] [[I should try to find the tent, it shouldn't be too far away.->Second Day 2]]

Even though you are staying around, you want to make sure you can survive until the guide finds you. What are you going to do next? [[I am hungry and thirsty, I need to find some food and water.->Second Day 1-1]] [[I need to make a shelter for tonight.->Second Day 1-2]] [[I need to rethink a bit.->Second Day]]

Since you were lost in the fog, you don't know which direction to go. You want to find some traces made by yourself while walking in the fog, or even from the guide. [[Search for footprint on the ground.->Second Day 2-1]] [[Search for marks on trees.->Second Day 2-2]] [[I need to rethink a bit.->Second Day]]

(if: $ThirdDay is false)[It is not easy to find reliable resources for water and food around the small area. You decide to find some [[wild fruit->Second Day 1-1-1]] which would have enough juice and sarcocarp to solve both problems.] (if: $ThirdDay is true)[It is not easy to find reliable resources for water and food around the small area. You decide to find some [[wild fruit->Second Day 1-1-2]] which would have enough juice and sarcocarp to solve both problems.]

You are trying to find the material for the shelter. There are some plants with big leaves and some wood and branches around. (if: $HungryThirsty is true)[You are tired right now. You haven't eaten and drink anything since last night. You decided to make an easy shelter with some leaves: Just placing a couple of leaves on the ground. It's almost sunset. You want to get ready to [[sleep->Third Day morning-1]].](if: $HungryThirsty is false)[You have some simple tools with you. You decided to make a shelter that uses wood and branches as pillars and leaves as walls, floors, and ceiling. It's almost sunset. You want to get ready to [[sleep->Third Day morning-2]]]

You are looking for some marks on trees because the guide always makes some small marks on trees with his knife. Those marks are hard to see but should be easily distinguished once it's found. However, until the sunset, you couldn't find anything helpful. You decided to sleep on a fallen tree for [[tonight->Third Day Morning-3]].

You tried to find some footprint on the ground, but there are too many leaves on the ground. Footprints, especially human footprints are indistinguishable. You gave up on the footprints and begin to find traces on [[trees->Second Day 2-2]].

Fortunately, you found some beautiful wild berries just in the bushes around. You have learned about this type of berry during the preparation of this trip. (if: $HungryThirsty is true)[(link: "Eat the berries.")[(set: $HungryThirsty = false)(goto: "Second Day 1-1-1")]](if: $HungryThirsty is false)[Now you are full of energy! You start to think about making your [[shelter.->Second Day 1-2]]]

It wasn't a good sleep yesterday. You are getting exhausted. The guide hasn't found you. What can you do to get out of this situation? (if: $ThirdDay is false)[(link: "I need to get some water and food.")[(set: $ThirdDay = true)(goto: "Second Day 1-1")]] [[I need to find the guide, I can't wait in here further.->Third Day-1-2]] [[I am not going to do anything, that's wasting my energy.->Third Day-1-1]]

It wasn't a good sleep yesterday, but at least not too bad since you have walls and a ceiling with your shelter. The guide hasn't found you. You pick up some berries for breakfast today and start thinking about what else you can do. [[I can try to make a campfire so the guide can find me with the smoke.->Third Day-2-1]] [[I should try to find a better shelter.->Third Day-2-2]]

It wasn't a good sleep yesterday. You are getting exhausted. The guide hasn't found you. What is your purpose today? (if: $FindGuide is false)[(link: "Looking for the guide.")[(set: $FindGuide = true)(goto: "Third Day-1-2")]] [[I want to get out from this forest myself.->Third Day-3-1]]

You want to make a campfire, but you don't have many tools to work with. The good thing is you can get resin and dry branches from the trees, they are flammable. [[I can take a piece of the lens from my telescope and make a fire by concentrating the heat from the sunshine.->Third Day-2-1-2]] [[I can drill wood to make a fire.->Third Day-2-1-1]]

You are trying to find a better shelter. You slept in a shelter made by leaves yesterday, there is nothing around that can give you a better handmade shelter. You decided to find a big [[tree hole->Third Day-2-2-1]] as a shelter.

Fortunately, you found some beautiful wild berries just in the bushes around. You have learned about this type of berry during the preparation of this trip. (if: $HungryThirsty is true)[(link: "Eat the berries.")[(set: $HungryThirsty = false)(goto: "Second Day 1-1-2")]](if: $HungryThirsty is false)[Now you are full of energy! what do you want to do next? [[I want to find a better shelter->Third Day-2-2]] [[I want to make a campfire for smoke, so the guide can find me easily.->Third Day-2-1]]]

(if: $FindGuide is true)[You keep going from where you at yesterday. After a few hours, you found some marks on a tree! You found out a series of marks on trees and walking along with those [[marks->Ending 4]].](if: $FindGuide is false)[You begin to find traces from the guide because the guide likes to make small marks on trees. Since you don't know which direction you came from, you start around your shelter. You didn't find anything today. (link: "Keep finding tomorrow.")[(set: $FindGuide to true)(goto: "Third Day-1-2")] [[I would just give up and wait here.->Ending 3]]]

You think the best choice is to wait for the guide in here. (if: $Exhaust is 1)[(link: "Sleep for today.")[(set: $Exhaust to 2)(goto: "Third Day morning-1")]](if: $Exhaust is 2)[(link: "Sleep for today.")[(set: $Exhaust to 3)(goto: "Third Day morning-1")]](if: $Exhaust is 3)[[[Sleep for today.->Ending 3]]]

You are now trying to escape from this forest by yourself. You want to make sure you make some marks regularly so you don't lose your direction. Which direction are you going? [[Front.->Third Day-3-1-1]] [[Left.->Third Day-3-1-2]] [[Right.->Third Day-3-1-3]]

You tried to concentrate the sunshine using a piece of the lens from your telescope. However, the trees in the forest were much too dense for the sunshine to get strong enough for a fire. You decided to try another [[method->Third Day-2-1-1]].

You took some resin and dry branches from the trees and placed them around the wood. With the tools, you made a tiny hole in the wood, and drill the wood on that hole with a branch. This took you for almost a whole day, but you finally make it before sunset. You are too tired today, with the fire you made, you will just [[sleep->Ending 1]] for now.

On the morning of the next day, the guide found you. The guide saw the smoke with a telescope. Now you can enjoy your trip again with an experienced guide, comfortable tent and cooked food. Congratulation!

You couldn't find any tree holes that are big enough as a shelter around. You are now at the north of your shelter yesterday, which direction are you willing to go next?(if:visits >= 2)[ Maybe you should search more carefully for each area.] [[I should keep searching here.->Third Day-2-2-1]] [[I should check west.->Third Day-2-2-2]] [[I should check east.->Third Day-2-2-3]] [[I should check south.->Third Day-2-2-4]]

On the morning of the next day, the guide found you. The guide searched around for places that are suitable for sleep. Now you can enjoy your trip again with an experienced guide, comfortable tent and cooked food. Congratulation!

On the morning of the next day, the guide still doesn't appear. You are too exhausted to do anything. There is nothing you can do anymore...

Along with the traces, you found the guide. Now you can enjoy your trip again with an experienced guide, comfortable tent and cooked food. Congratulation!

You successfully got out from the forest! However, you didn't get to the entrance that you came from. You got help from the government of the area a few moments after becuase the guide called for help. Congratulation!
