How it begins
You are John Keats (not the poet, but a spy), a.k.a. Jack Keats, carrying nothing, although you do have tuberculosis a.k.a. consumption. You're in a real snowy snowstorm, and there's a break in the snowbank to the east.
Notable features
- The location names get more ludicrous as you progress through the game.
Trivia and Comments
- The game appears to be set in the Yukon Territory of Canada, based on the response to "x me".
