==How It Begins==
You stumble across an acquaintance of you next to the lighthouse. He is Grant Stern: grey eyes, distinctive hands, carrying a swordstick and his old-fashioned attitude. You are carrying nothing remarkable.

==Notable Features==
*The entire game is guided by a multiple choice dialogue system. Helen is free to ask Grant about whatever topics she chooses, with replies adjusting to what he says.

==Trivia and Comments==
*Grant returns in ''[[NewGrant]]'', a Speed-IF game heavily built on ''Best of Three'' but with a sillier tone.
*The dialogue system is also used in ''[[Pytho's Mask]]''.
