The first in a series of planned parody horror games.

How it begins

You are Ben Xavier Williams (a.k.a. Professor X), a scientist for diamagnetic research at Cocan University. You are carrying nothing. You sit in your claustrophobic office which contains little more than a desk and a bookshelf. On your desk is a computer, a telephone, a biPod, and a manilla folder.

The folder contains your draft article entitled "Sex, Drugs, and The Meaning of Life" which is due for presentation very soon. Unfortunately, the article has been made illegible with mustard stains. You better find a way to either clean it up or otherwise reproduce the article.
