How It Begins
It's February 3rd, AD 2386. You are a courier, carrying a parcel, standing in the lobby of the New Delhi Mental Hospital. Earlier, you met a weirdo in tattered red rags in an alley. He gave you a thick wad of cash and told you, in his oddly charismatic voice, to deliver his parcel here, and that there would be further instructions when you arrived.
Trivia and Comments
- This is the third part of a trilogy of text adventure games. The trilogy was a build-up to the release of a graphical adventure game 6 Days A Sacrifice, the final part of the 5 Days a Stranger series.
- The player only gets an overview of what is an extensive backstory. This game (and the rest of the Countdown series) continues a storyline begun in Croshaw's freeware amateur graphical adventure 5 Days a Stranger, continued in 7 Days a Skeptic and Trilby's Notes, and concluded in 6 Days a Sacrifice.
