How it begins

DAY 1: harvest

You are old man Ezekiel Cramden, carrying some corned beef, and standing outside your unimplemented two-story Tudor home which you do not share with any wretched orphans, horrible things that they are. You want to go in the unimplemented door and make a corned beef sandwich.

Notable features

• This game satisfied the Even Comp constraints by implementing only 8 rooms, 12 objects, 14 tasks, 4 events, and 2 characters.
• Short linear game; most of the game is on rails. Quite often, the game will suggest the next command to type in, displaying the relevant text in boldface.
• The style of humor is hammy. Some breaking of the fourth wall with references to unimplemented items.
• One unusual location is called MAP. Instead of a normal room description, a simple ASCII art map of the town is displayed.
