How it begins
You might be anyone, carrying nothing, standing outside the Ludicorp office building. In your nearby car is a gun. It's nearly Christmas 2003, and Ludicorp hasn't released GNE yet. You want to find out what's going on.
Trivia and Comments
- Ludicorp was a real company. The GNE mentioned at the beginning is Game Neverending, but that's not made explicit in this game.
