How It Begins

You are Figaro, the smartest servant in the world. You suspect your wife, Susanna, of adultery. That's why you're currently hiding in the big trunk in your bedroom while she thinks you're in Toulouse.

What are you carrying? Who does Susanna meet? Is Susanna guilty of adultery? That's up to you to decide.

Notable Features

  • At various points in the game, the game will prompt the player to select options from short menus, not to choose the player's actions, but to decide a feature of the game world. For example, your inventory is not initially set. You might choose to be carrying an axe, a cream pie, or a photo-camera.
  • Since the game is only an example, it isn't fully implemented. You cannot, for example, kiss your wife.
