How It Begins
The game begins with a menu with eleven options, promising all sorts of information and help, but it soon becomes obvious that the menu is just a big façade with no real information behind the options. Option 1 begins the game proper.
There are quotes by Robert Burton and William Shakespeare on the topic of murder.
Then there's a title page, proclaiming that you are the PROFFESSIONAL [sic], and that the author doesn't make games; he makes art.
You, a hitman, are carrying a gun in a room belonging to the guy you're supposed to kill. There's a desk, window, and painting. Since the guy isn't here yet, you suppose you'll look at his stuff.
