How It Begins

You are a roman soldier, and have been ordered by the centurion to investigate a cave where--according to the local population--something is amiss. Footsteps that are twice as big as your own lead into the cave.

Notable Features

• Germania is a puzzle-filled cave crawl, where solving puzzles generally has the effect of allowing you to proceed deeper into the cave complex.
• The competition release is only the first part of the entire story: it stops after you make a certain discovery about what is in the cave.
• The competition release suffers from numerous missing synonyms and guess-the-verb problems.
