How it begins
You are a "test rabbit" for CogCo Industries, Incorporated. After a brief tutorial in their PAUSE procedures -- that is, press a key anytime the game displays Pause -- you begin your test of CogCo's newest virtual property, "The Toybox." You're instructed to play and explore as much as you like, then find your way out. You are also invited to read the INSTRUCTIONS.
You're wearing white fluffy bunny ears, a white fluffy bunny tail, and an open bunny-eared backpack containing a CogCo Omniuseful Adventuring Key. You begin at the entrance to the Toybox where several items await you, including a velvet rope barring your way north.
