Description	There's a bit of a story behind this one. Arda submitted this originally to CSSCGC 2007, but it arrived one day after that compo had ended. The date for this entry should really be 23/12/07 - but that would screw up the chronological ordering of these game pages. Chris Young, who hosted CSSCGC 2007 passed the game onto me today. As for the game itself, you'll probably have to escape your body (perhaps with the aid of some pharmecutical substances) in order to actually understand it. Suffice it to say I died a few times whilst playing. It's probably my own fault though, I pressed a key. Arda probably thought the world had forgotten about this one, but it came back to haunt him. (Think the Global Thermonuclear War game that keeps phoning you back). Enough respect to Arda who was willing to let this one back out in the wild again!
Comments	Aah, the one that got away. Or did it? Arda submitted this to CSSCGC 2007, but it was too late for that compo. Long forgotten and lost (for 11 months). I guess the whole world had either remained unaware of it or (including Arda) completely forgotten about it. Then along comes Master Crap Game Archiver, Chris Young to dig this one out and to give Arda a bit of a shock, and rest of us a bit of a friendly giggle. You see this one came back to haunt Arda? - it just wouldn't die. What's it about? Truthfully, I don't think anyone has a clue. But it exists as a timeless curiosity, maybe open to further future interpretations.
