Notable features

- Use of mixing upper and lower case letters throughout words in several places. Used for comedic or a cartoon-like effect.
- Various "hunger puzzles", except based around emptying one's bladder and smoking the next cigarette instead of food or drink. The player should use the INFO command periodically to check on Thumper's current status.
- All the characters in the game are anthromorphic animals.
