In this game, you have to pass four or fives puzzles to open a safety deposit box.
These puzzles are based in reality, but have little basis in reality. Just taking a ticket from the machine involves deciphering a complex sequence of button presses.
These puzzles are exceedingly illogical. But the game is otherwise competently written and bugless.

>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction
WS is a short, inoffensive, and moderately enjoyable game based in the "real world", or at least the real IF world, where you're allowed to pick up and vandalize things that don't belong to you, and where obstacles to your progress hinge on some highly dubious connections.
