Features:

─  a no-budget Lucasarts style point&click gameplay  ─
─  NOT a Sierra style point&click: no death, no softlock (hopefully)  ─
─  2 languages (english or french)  ─
─  a little more than 100 screens!  ─
─  a little less than 20 different musics!  ─ 
─  precisely 26 digitized sound effects (STE or F030 required)  ─
─  only one ending  ─

Playtime:

Quite some hours, I'm afraid.

Your trusty 8mhz/512kB Atari ST, equipped with a hard drive (2.5 free MB required)
STE/F030 users will get digitized sound effects
ST users will get old-fashioned bleep-blops

OR

If you don't own an Atari ST (tsk tsk): Use some boring modern computer and an Atari ST emulator

Remember to check the show borders option in your emulator, or you won't see the lower part of the game screen!

If you don't understand any of the above, don't panic!
