==How It Begins==
You are an adventurer-cum-philosopher, carrying a treasure map, and wearing a blue overcoat that your companion, Leo, a Lemming, is sleeping in. You stand in a town square dominated by a large tree and a cannon. Lodged in the upper branches of the tree is a wooden chest labelled "The Treasure of Phlegm".

You have traveled here to solve the greatest mystery of all time: Phlegm.

==Notable Features==
* Leo the Lemming is your [[sidekick]] for this adventure. You can ask Leo about a handful of topics, and sometimes direct him to take certain actions.
* In-game hint menu.
