 Finalist - Best Game, Best Writing, Best Story, Best Individual PC, Best Use of Medium |

This is Andrew Plotkin's entry in the 6th Annual IF Competition in 2000, where it garnered tenth place. It also tied with Emily Short's Metamorphoses for the third place for the Miss Congeniality award during the same competition.
