This is not an RPG, it is interactive fiction.
Be prepared to sit through a lot of textboxes before being able to play a mini-game.
The last three mini-games, however, have only short story sequences between them, and are very near to each other.

This game has no music.

WARNING: Blood and Violence (there, that's three places! consider yourself warned!)

you'll move up as if you were walking normally.
