About the Game

//////////////////MANKIND INC.(CC) DIGITAL_TELEGRAM//////////////////



Gegi,
I dug a bit in the old web archives again and found something you might enjoy.

You're always complaining about your boredom on the night shifts in your little cell on the solar panel deck... The software I found could give you an interesting perspective on how life must have been down there back then - just give it a try.

If you have any difficulties, just call me!
Oh, and it will definitely be difficult, so please don't be frustrated ;)

love, Kia


P.S.: I also found a description of an ancient digital shop page - I'll attach it if you really want to spoil the surprise ;-)
