How It Begins
You are a man in Central Park, Manhattan, late at night. A young woman accuses you of letting your dog go unleashed, but the brightly colored creature bothering her is neither yours nor a dog. Is it a monkey? Then the creature steals the woman's handbag. The woman removes her heeled shoes and chases after it. You follow them into the darkness of a overpass, where the creature jumps onto your back. Your fedora falls beside a discarded newspaper. The girl stands beside a trash can, willing to help but uncertain what to do.
The strange creature begins to strangle you. You better do something quickly before you die of suffocation.
Notable Features
- The creatures in the game have random characteristics, including color, size, weight, physical features, disposition, eating preferences, etc. Solutions to the game's puzzles involving the creatures will likewise vary.
