About the Game

There is a mountain that towers over a wasteland.

 Schubert never has had any interest in much other than sleeping and barricading himself in trash, until the sanctity of his garbage dump is disturbed by a violent woodland dog.

On his zig zagging travels he meets locals to the towering mountain, and they have one message about the curious landmark… DON'T GO UP THERE.
