How It Begins
The game begins with a quote from "The Lost Teddy" by Helen McKay.
You are a furry brown teddy bear wearing your night shirt. You are on the big bed in the bedroom. Your owner, David, lies next to you, fast asleep.
It's a timeless time at night. If you explore the house, you may discover a flyer for a teddy bear picnic which you'd like your owner to take you to.
