How it begins

You might be anyone, carrying nothing, surrounded by darkness and the sounds of soft footsteps nearby. As soon as you try to leave, you're hit on the head and regain consciousness in a prison cell, and you're now carrying a magnet (that you've supposedly had all along). Outside the cell, you see your monkey captor at a desk. You want to escape.

Notable features

• Elided puzzle bug: You're supposed to use the magnet to solve the game's few puzzles, but you don't actually need it.
