How it begins
You are a thief hired to steal Professor Fenshire's papers. You are wearing white gloves and a coat. You had no trouble sneaking into the professor's office, where you see a desk, fireplace, window, bookcase, a potted palm tree, and the door which just clicked shut behind you. Looks like leaving here is going to be much more difficult.
Notable features
- A classic example of a puzzlebox game.
- Many "second-level objects", and even third- and fourth-level objects. Examining an object often reveals new details that can themselves be examined.
