How It Begins
You are a fat and ugly idiot, and you ain't got shit. You're in a square red room with a rubber ducky. And no exits. Did I go too fast for you or should I insult you some more?
Notable Features
- Antagonistic narrator as author. The player is insulted frequently and the game uses liberal amounts of profanity.
- The command QUIT does not end the game. However, there is another command that does end the game. This comprises the game's only puzzle.
- At one point the game claims that *** The author have died! *** [sic], but no, it's only joking. The game doesn't end that way.
