This game was originally going to be an entry in Emily Short's Walkthrough Competition, but I didn't quite get it finished in time. Rather than let all the effort go to waste, I decided to enter it in the 2001 annual competition instead. Details of the WalkthroughComp can be found here: http://emshort.home.mindspring.com/walkthrough.htm Being a WalkthroughComp game, it is meant to be played in conjunction with the walkthrough. Some of the puzzle solutions would be almost impossible to guess without it. I make no apology for that. The game Emily was seeking was presumably tough enough to need a walkthrough -- so I made it that way! However, if you just stick to the walkthrough, you'll miss a lot of the background and reasons for things going on. So, for maximum enjoyment, I recommend that you treat it like an ordinary game at first, looking around and trying all sorts of things at each new location; then, when you're ready to move on, consult the walkthrough. I hope you have as much fun playing this as I did writing it! Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand greg@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz
