An Inform tutorial (partially) disguised as a text adventure; partially inspired by Andrew Plotkin's somewhat similar Scheme tutorial Lists and Lists. Has a couple of basic puzzles and simple characters, but not really meant to be played as a game; useful primarily as a self-teaching tool for budding Inform programmers. Possibly the most self-referential game in the archive.
