SHIPWRECK

This is a challenging, interesting, tidy game, especially the 
first part (before the shipwreck) when you are working against 
the clock to have all the necessary items before you need to 
abandon ship. Do not dawdle. Type correctly. You should spend 
time exploring the ship before you play "for real".

The necessary items are: the lifejacket (in the locked chest), 
the map (bought in the photo shop), the ship's position (in the 
bridge for which access is obtained with a signed permit), the 
tie (wear it). The other item needed will be found on a boat in 
the sea.
