How it begins
You are Perry, carrying nothing, in an imaginary front yard outside an imaginary house. There is a front door here.
Notable features
- Very sparsely implemented explore-the-house game.
- Perry has two missions to perform, and after every turn, "Score: [score]" (if the score isn't 0) and "Mission: [mission number]" statements are displayed.
- The score displayed by the score command and status bar does not match the score displayed in these every-turn statements; the latter appears to be double the amount of the former.
- The game has no explicit ending. When Perry has completed his second mission, he will be in a location with no exits and the player will have little option except to quit.
Trivia and Comments
- Perry's name and imaginary setting is possibily inspired by the player character and setting of A Mind Forever Voyaging (publisher: Infocom).
