take tips

(The show that starts now will play on its own; you can mess around with whatever you want in the office while it's running and not miss anything—as long as you're paying attention. The right screen will stop eventually, but the left screen loops. Pay attention to the "handshake" that the cloaked people repeat, it'll come in handy later.)



Chapter 3 - Breaking into a car.
"Did you ever hear the philosophy that once a man admits he's wrong…"

s. s. s. w. w. (To the Paco's parking lot)
x honda. x shiny. (oh man!)

(They won't help, but then you can ask them if they're really cops and hear a story.)
s. s. e. n. (inside Get Your Licks)

unlock honda with hanger
bend hanger
unlock honda with hanger
in
x body
take dagger. x it.

Chapter 4 - Infiltrating a Secret Meeting.
"Wait for The Wolf, who should be coming directly."

(After you discover the dead body's true identity, a series of shady dudes will being walking from the alley to the vacant lot north of La Pizzá. You can just stand around in the parking lot until one of them shows up.)
(Talk to the guy, point the gun at him, take his cloak, take his mask.)
x mask (Which animal did you get? It's random, did you know?)
take mask. wear it.
wear cloak.
(Now you need to get to the vacant lot, so head west, then north…)

s. get mask.
(If you're wondering what's going on with those masked dudes, try examining the pile of menus, the maps, the minutes, and the (incriminating!) list. Keep examining the minutes for more random snippets.)



Chapter 6 - Finishing This Dang Game.
"I think we should be leaving now." "Yeah, that's probably a good idea."

(You have a couple choices now. You could definitely just take your piles of cash and go home…)
w. w. (to La Pizzá Parking)
in. drive away. yes.

(…Or you could help out that chick with the ice cream place. But that's the "secret" ending.)



Chapter 7 - Secret Facts
"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."

So here's what happened: I decided that "Taco Fiction" would be a great name for a text adventure. So I started writing it. I figured out what would be going on in this game.

And then I thought "Man, the title 'Taco Fiction' sounds a lot like the title of that famous movie 'Pulp Fiction.' I should watch that movie before I release a game that sounds like it."

So then I watched the movie, and I thought that it was great. And then I finished writing the game.
