About the Game

In this Point&Click - Adventure you find yourself in the post-apocalypse and help the bartender in whose bar you wake up. To help him you're going to have to solve puzzles and talk to several NPCs in order to get them to help you in your quest.
You'll be meeting many new friends and other not so friendly interesting characters on your way in this strange world, littered with remnants of the world that it once was. Now it's your turn to fit in in this new strange hierarchy, that has been built by a gang calling themselves Survivors.
Depending on your humor, this game may also tickle your funny bone.
