You are a journalist investigating the disappearance of a college co-ed. Each turn the player chooses from a list
of places to investigate and then reads a paragraph to see what happens. These may involve dice checks and re-directions to yet other paragraphs. In addition there is a Time Chart -- the character must eat and sleep -- as this is also a "race against time." Based on the H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.

Most players will fail several times before managing to get to the key places at the right times and win.
