As the door swings open you are blinded by intense light and incredible pain. Just before everything overloads and you fade from existence, you can make out a shape outside, holding onto the door of the cylinder, and then everything goes dark.

Factoid of the day

For most Infocom games, the packaging and "feelies" were designed to complement the story. For Wishbringer, though, the packaging was conceptualized before the game. Brian Moriarty reasoned that a magic ring or a glowing stone would make a great "feelie" to include in a game box. His peers thought it was a great idea, too, so he began developing Wishbringer, a story about a glowing magical stone.

Simulation Mode

(Click or tap on any clue to reveal the clue.)

When can I enter Simulation Mode?

In Part I, you'll be able to enter when you get the message from Perelman telling you to do so.
After that, you'll generally be able to enter Simulation Mode whenever you want.

How can I get past the security code protection for Simulation Mode?

Use the security decoder chart from your AMFV package.
Turn your wheel until the color indicated in the security message is showing in the decoder window. On the inner wheel, find the number indicated in the security message. Read the corresponding number from the outer wheel. Enter that number (and hit the RETURN or ENTER key).
