you find yourself in a room [browser oldie]
For this browser oldie we're going back to 2010 when Eli Piilonen released the interactive fiction You find yourself in a room. Eli described his game as the drunken uncle of text adventures: Absuve, abrasive, and maybe a little funny.

Enjoyed this a lot! Wasn't expecting the turn it took.
Yeah, if you can't figure out anything to do, just try random stuff. Usually it's just waiting for you to try random stuff so it can call you stupid and hopeless.
I was just laughing at the "computer" (or maybe the "game") the whole time. In the part where there's nothing to do, I started copying it, typing "You find yourself in a room." and "I am eternal." because I thought it might get pissed off. Of course, I should have known that was the point of the game: if a computer can get pissed off (or even have opinions), it's not perfect or superior to humans in every way. I've seen quite a few "human vs computer" games and stories brought on by the advent of AI, but this is probably the silliest.
If you are you looking for a solution or a walkthrough for one of the game links, please have a look in the comments.

How do you solve the second keypad? There is no clue for a code?
Just keep entering random numbers Anonymous.
This got dark fast ….
Anonymous, just keep trying
If you need some help, I made a walkthrough video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHyw-_U3fdI
Well, that was ... strange.
Love this game, was fun to play it again! Thanks for reminding us of this one, Bart!
I found myself outside the room!!
Definitely weird, but finally found me outside a room! Thanks, Bart.
