THE BIG BOX EDITION
Once upon a time, adventure games came in boxes big enough to post a cat in. Inside: three floppy disks, a manual, a map, and a great deal of air. This is that box. Drag it round.
NOTHING TO REPORT

AN ADDOLI LTD ADVENTURE
THE BACK OF THE BOX
For twenty years, Barry Pratt has been very good at one thing: not being found.

All Barry wants is a cup of tea.
