How it begins

You are camping in the desert at night on All Hallows' Eve when something awakens you. Absentmindedly, you stumble up to a cliff, look at the desert below, take a step, and another, and again... and then you're falling. Unafraid. It even seems natural when something with bluesilver wings rescues you and blackness enfolds you.

You wake up in a sun-bright grassy field, complete with babbling brook and an apple tree ripe with fruit.

Then, the game may pause to ask you a few questions, before you can go and explore:

Player gender: (m or f)>
Always print long introductory text? (yes or no)>
Always print long/verbose room descriptions? (yes or no)>

Versions

Release 1

Date: August 1995

Release 2 with I/O

Date: 18 September 1995

Release 2 is basically a bug-fix version of release 1. The "with I/O" version includes a lethe.cfg file and requires a version of TADS that supports file I/O, to read and write this file. The lethe.cfg file should be in the same file folder as lethe.gam, and have its name in lowercase.

Release 2 without I/O

Date: 18 September 1995

This alternate version of release 2 does not use a lethe.cfg file, and was created for users having problems running the "with I/O" version.
