A Change In The Weather - Walkthrough
By Julian Fleetwood

This is a walkthrough of one of the best pieces of Interactive Fiction ever created. Andrew Plotkin's "A Change In The
Weather" was entered in to the 1995 Interactive Fiction Competition and won first place in the Inform division. The game is
quite difficult so don't feel too bad if you must resort to this walkthrough - just remember that you will get more enjoyment if you solve the game your self.

If you enjoy playing this game you can find lots more, along with a whole bunch of other stuff at my site:

With that said, lets play!
