How It Begins
You stumble across an acquaintance of you next to the lighthouse. He is Grant Stern: grey eyes, distinctive hands, carrying a swordstick and his old-fashioned attitude. You are carrying nothing remarkable.
Notable Features
- The entire game is guided by a multiple choice dialogue system. Helen is free to ask Grant about whatever topics she chooses, with replies adjusting to what he says.
Trivia and Comments
- Grant returns in NewGrant, a Speed-IF game heavily built on Best of Three but with a sillier tone.
- The dialogue system is also used in Pytho's Mask.
