Developer’s Note:

This game is an artifact, a title developed by a small indie team using the full potential and limitations of flash technology back in the early 2000s. We apologize for any technical problems or inconveniences you may encounter in your playthrough. We hope that with these limitations in mind, you may still enjoy the experience!
