How it begins

You are a scupltor staying at the Marriott Hotel in New Orleans for BAC, the Bread Artists' Convention. It's 4 AM. You couldn't sleep. You're worried about your case of "sculptor's block".

So now you're prowling the hotel lobby with a twenty dollar bill and your hotel room key. And you want a taste of the REAL city of New Orleans while you're here. Perhaps you should go explore it.

Notable features

There are both winning and losing endings.
