How it begins

You are a aluminum miner of Io Mining Colony Three, carrying nothing. The colony on Jupiter's moon has been in serious decline, and the people are blaming taxation and the colony's ruler: Commander Brutus, last of the Chihuahua. Your fellow miners have elected you to seek out Commander Brutus and force him to capitulate. The Palace of the Chihuahua looms to the north.

Notable features

The encounter with Commander Brutus is done via a non-interactive cutscene, avoiding the need to code an actual NPC.
There are both winning and losing endings.
