How it begins

You are a spy, carrying nothing, waiting for a signal in a dark alley. There's a garbage bin in front of you, and a door marked "Studio A" behind you.

WARNING: Scenes of people urinating.

Notable features

• Some read-author's-mind problems. In particular, one required command uses the non-standard "WHAT IS <topic>" syntax, which is almost impossible to guess.
