How it begins
You are Jambalaya Guy, a superhero tasked with protecting New Orleans. You are carrying nothing. You are outside a crouton factory, investigating reports of a break-in. You see an open window.
Notable features
- Solving the game's one mechanical puzzle results in a large non-interactive textdump, wherein Jambalaya Guy and the game's villain face off against each other.
- Although the ending says "to be continued", there is no second game that continues the story.
