How It Begins
You have travelled to an unidentified country; the opening paragraph describes its beautiful scenery. Currently, however, you're in a near-featureless dead-end alley, facing a plain metal door. The PC is ambiguous, and carrying nothing of importance.
Notable Features

- Intentionally employs knowledge conflict for dramatic effect.

- Tanker and Webb (Andrew Frederiksen; 1999; Z-code).
