How It Begins
First, there is a warning that this is an adult game with sexual situations between consenting adults.
You are a male mechanic, wearing a gray shirt and some jeans, sitting on a seat in a packed train on your way downtown to your job at Bob's Garage. During morning rush hour, the train is standing room only. Besides the other passengers, you can see windows, doors, and ads.
At the next stop, two women enter the crowded train: Lisa, a pregnant woman in her 7th month; and Tiffany, a stunning brunette. Lisa seems uncomfortable; perhaps you can help her somehow.
Trivia and Comments
- The game was an experiment to test how Inform 7 worked for someone who hadn't used Inform before.
