How It Begins

You're a janitor at a scientific complex, hoping to get some shuteye while the scientists are out of town. But you're awakened in your bedroom by a strident warning alarm. This just can't be good.

Notable Features

The opening puzzle is all but unsolvable without consulting the walkthrough. A critical object is recognized by the parser only by a name that isn't mentioned in the text.
