- Story
- -----
-
- You have arrived at the residence of an enigmatic individual
- known only as Mr. C. Mr. C is best known for 'donating' money
- to fund UAC's research on interdimensional travel. With Mr. C's
- help, UAC has managed to develop technology that allows humans
- to travel from one place to another without crossing space.
-
- Soon after UAC's progress, strange events have occurred at
- Mr. C's residence. Unearthly lights and snarls of beasts were
- reported by those who passed by Mr. C's residence. This has
- caused some to suspect that Mr. C is not what he seems. A few
- have even ventured to say that Mr. C's true form is anything
- but human, and he is using the technology developed by UAC to
- open a gate from his home dimension to Earth.
-
- After a few days of these frightening incidents, you and a
- buddy were sent to investigate and stop Mr. C if possible.
- You carried a sidearm with 50 bullets plus a berserk pack,
- and your buddy brought in a shotgun. Soon upon your arrival,
- a grate slams shut, sealing off the escape. Your buddy tells
- you to stay behind with the berserk while he moves ahead to
- clear out an area. After a few moments you hear yells, snarls,
- some gunfire, and a scream. It is clear your buddy was killed.
- Now it is your turn. Find Mr. C, stop him, and escape alive.
-
- Below are some areas at Mr. C's residence.
-
- The Dark Eden
- -------------
- This is where it all begins and ends. The eden is large,
- and it connects to several different areas, though not all
- are accessible at the start.
-
- The Marble Hall
- ---------------
- This long hall connects the Dark Eden to various areas inside
- Mr. C's earthly residence. Huge windows are carved into the
- ceiling to provide light into this great hall.
-
- The Lounge
- ----------
- This is the room where Mr. C's personnel and guests sit down
- and enjoy themselves. Mr. C keeps plenty of books and games,
- and a few artifacts. Get ready to crash a party.
-
- Twin Balconies
- --------------
- Aside from connecting some halls, these two areas overlook the
- east wing of the library. Many of Mr. C's prized artifacts are
- on display on top some of the bookselves.
- (Hint: You need help from someone to reach them.)
-
- The Library
- -----------
- Mr. C is a highly educated individual, and he keeps books of
- arcane lore plus a stockpile of weapons, ammo, and other items
- in this seemingly quiet area. Visit Mr. C's seer; he is more
- than happy to have your palm red -- with blood!
-
- The Temple of Doom
- ------------------
- This is Mr. C's dirty little secret, for it reveals his true
- nature. Beware of the cultists, for they will stop at nothing
- to prevent you from leaving.
-
- The Courtyard
- -------------
- Mr. C enjoys the great outdoors and awaits here for
- the final confrontation. Go ahead and make his day...
