How it begins

You might be anyone, carrying nothing, at the top of the Eiffel Tower. The year is 2042. There is a counter with an orange juice dispenser here, and the exit is east. You have no obvious goals at first.

Trivia and Comments

• This game is plagued with several read-the-author's-mind problems. Also, there is a bug which prevents you from winning the game if you drop the onion after you find it.
