How it begins

You are a man with a headache, waking up in your bedroom beside Helen. Looking around, you see that the skylight is open and the lamp is off. You didn't sleep well at all: your scalp itches, your side of the bed is soaked in sweat, and your dreams were full of strange visions. You need to do something about your headache.

Notable features

• Hyperlinks in the text allow the player to quickly examine some items of interest or navigate to some locations. However, the player will have to type some of the time; the game cannot be played solely by clicking hyperlinks.
