Synopsis

You're a cop who have to catch the person who has just killed the mayor. That's the story on paper, but in reality there's not a single puzzle in the entire game and the plot is largely incoherent.

Notes

The game was parodied in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 remake.

The game was initially done by 12-year old Matt Barringer in AGT and later ported to Inform.

Chock full of spelling mistakes, objects that keep reappearing, inexplicable sudden death situations, one-way exits and not a single actual puzzle. This is bad beyond belief.
My favourite bit:
"You are at a dead end. There is nothing to do but go west.


*** You have died ***"

Just like that, eh? ;o)
