WWDD I
A man arrives home to find the door to his home gone. Hurrying inside, he is astonished to find everything gone. Everything! There are no pictures on the wall, no furniture, no food, no clothing. Everything is gone. As he steps further into his home, he discovers that the floor is sticky. While there does not appear to be anything on the floor, and there are no visible traces of “stickiness”, he finds that his feet are sticking to the wood planks while he walks.
Venturing further, he enters the bathroom. All the usual bathroom accessories are missing, including his favorite towel! The sink has been ripped from the wall, but the tub remains… but it is half-filled with a thick gooey substance that seems to bubble and burp. In the place of the toilet is a hole the goes to… well it doesn’t matter.
The bedroom is bare, but written on the wall in goats’ blood (what else!) are the words “gone to the market BRB”. Strange, as the man lives alone, and did not have a goat. The closet door is missing and there appears to be a large hole in the floor. Deep within the hole he can see a very faint light.
Moving more quickly now, the man goes to his home office, hoping his PC has been spared. The office too is empty, except for a wire that seems to rise from the floor and go through the ceiling. The wire is red and glows sporadically. The windows are gone and he can feel the wind ripping through the room.
Near the rear entrance of the house he finds a dead cat and a red disk with word “eject” on it. Strange, he thought, I do not have a cat.
What would Dink Do?

What would Dink Do?
I don't think Dink would have any of that stuff, but mabye go to a brothel. Also when does Dink have a home office, and the story would have a dead duck not cat.
He's go to the Darklands and demand that Seth return his stuff.
Is that someone else, since I recall Kris was a little bit of a grammar nazi.
Obviously, Dink would punch the tub to see what witty comment it inspires him to say.. then the wire.. then the dead cat
Then he would punch the hole multiple times, going deeper and deeper all the while.
Dink always goes fist-deep, Kris.
I heard he was capable of going up to his shoulder.
Yes, but the only time that happened was with his aunt.
LOL at these suggestions!
I think the first thing Dink would do, would be to (especially after realizing his feet were sticking to the floor; it might get worse) go back to the nearest Save machine - probably way back down the street. Isn't that always the case?
I agree that the cat should be changed to a duck.
When he enters the bathroom the screen should lock and he has to fight the bathtub (which is a minor boss). If he does manage to beat it, then he should investigate the toilet. At least go up and talk to it. The toilet would reply with some rubbish (I probably shouldn't say c/rap)..which is actually a vital clue to solving the mystery.
The goat blood on the wall is a total red herring as is the BRB note. He would have liked to talk to his bed or even hit it out of sheer frustration but it's gone. He won't even have the momentary enjoyment of the lame humour it would have provided.
Dink would be hoping the barrels which have mysteriously appeared next to where the TV once stood aren't filled with slayers which will escape and go on the rampage. If he did and they appeared, hopefully he will find a hard part of the room where he can avoid being hurt and if so, he can run (oh wait, are the slayers affected by the sticky stuff too? Can he somehow make it to another barrel and punch it to get a big red heart? Or some gold? Does he have enough of a life line? Or is there a big gold heart somewhere? And how would he fill it? Would a bunch of slimes or pillbugs appear when he entered his home office and walked on the wire? He'd then have a slim chance of picking up one or two red hearts at least.
Can we get a bonca - a brown one, or how about a tough grey one - to come in? With a screen lock of course!
Anyway, assuming he manages to get through this part, the main reason for Dink doing a Save before even attempting to hit (or pick up) the eject disk is that it will exit to Windows.
By now Dink is at a total loss so the only thing to do is for the player to see if there is a walkthrough or a guide at least. Failing that, there is always the Dink Forum.
