An Introduction:
The scene is set initially in the present day, at Meldrew Hall, an old family
seat in the shires of England. You play the part of the current heir to the
house. (This doesn't make your family rich aristocrats - just people who suffer
very badly from inheritance tax.)
Remember, your only aim is to find that map of Paris so you can go on holiday -
try not to get diverted by any enormous quests. Still, it would be interesting
to find out:
Just how realistic are the Tarot cards?
What do sixth century politics have to do with you?
Surely Greek myths can't come into this?
What on earth is wrong with your entire family?
Do the National Trust have sinister motives?
Why is it so hard to go to church these days?
What are daisies for? Or goats, for that matter?
Can modernist poetry really be bad for you?
Should you rescue someone who doesn't want you to?
To finally understand the secret, you will need to reach the Master Game, a
concluding game-within-a-game buried deep in the past. Good luck!
