How it begins
You are an archaeologist, carrying nothing. You are in your quarters which float above the dig. Suspension bridges lead west (to the top of the Eiffel Tower) and northwest (to the main offices).
It is Thursday, a day of Rest. The other workers have left for a holiday, but you've stayed behind to walk around shamelessly unhooded and look at the work already done. (You wouldn't dare do actual work on a Thursday; you might be struck down by moonbeams.)
Notable features
- The game takes place in some future time period where social customs and beliefs are noticably different from those of the present day.
