A light fantasy romp about a luckless (and talentless) musician who ends up chucked in an oubliette after offending the King. The result is a puzzle-solving exercise with a humorous touch in the mold of Sorcerer or Frobozz Magic Support. Mild hints are provided by Hitchhiker's Guide-type reference books. The puzzles are creative, but for the most part not too difficult; it's possible to get trapped in one area, but you are warned about this. Surprisingly solid for a first release.
