# La Vie Moderne de SEQUEL

By: Snorb

Company: Blue Wings Studio

Genre: Puzzle/Troll

Date: Oct. 29, 2021

# Description

You wanted it!
You asked for it!
And this time
We're fucking BRINGING it!

velkomme to the City of ZZT, the second worst place in the Lands of the Worlds of ZZT. (First worst is, of course, Staten Island.) Your mission, should you choose to accept it, and if you don't, you might as well go play *Winter* or *Town of ZZT Remix* or *Cyber Purge* or *Mutant Citadel* or some other better ZZT game, is to get out of the City! 

All you need to do is get on the train. After all that stupidity you went through last year, how much worse could it get?

# NEW! To version 1.05!

Special thanks go out to adult_witch, Dr. Dos, and Zinfandel for comments made during the *Worlds of ZZT* livestream of this game on November 5, 2021. The following changes have been made as a result:

* The City Hall basement and mayor's office are now wheelchair-accessible. Signage has been put up and geometry altered on "this elevator takes forever" board.
* City Hall's bathroom now has a sink, hand dryer, "employees must wash hands" sign, and "unisex bathroom" sign. Apologies for the bad ANSI Braille on the sign.
* Toilet at City Hall now audibly flushes. The toilet stall has been made a bit larger for accessibility.
* Keygan's rant at the end of the game gets cut off much earlier. (Sadly, ZZT's memory limit prohibits me from FULLY implementing ||an individualized D&D character sheet||, but you do get to make a couple of decisions related to this.
* Image of Gary Gygax removed and replaced with much more ~~stupid~~ ~~suitable~~ appropriate image.

For curating the Museum of ZZT, operating the Discord Server of ZZT, and for streaming ZZT games on the Worlds of ZZT Twitch page.

## Alexis Janson
For Super Tool Kit, of course.

## Kev Vance
For KevEdit, the rapidly-depreciating ZZT external editor of choice at Blue Wings Studio.

## asie
For Zeta, the lightweight portable ZZT and Super ZZT emulator, as well as for Zima, an image converter that converts almost any picture you put into it into a ZZT board format.

## Lancer-X
For ZEdit, the new standard in ZZT external editors that I decline to use because I'm a stubborn old bastard. I still used it to make sure all the art lines up between boards. (Also getting thanked for not noticing I accidentally credited asie as creating ZEdit last year. Whoops! :v

## Everyone on the Discord of ZZT

For your support, your acceptance, and for not shunning me after the first one of these. Good grief.
