About the Story

Gregory Yob's classic labyrinth gets an eco-surrealist makeover. No random generation. No instant-death pits. Just a carefully designed text-based trap, a wagon-elevator throwing you across rooms, and the Wumpus who considers you to be non-recyclable waste. Put your puzzle-solving skills to a test and find your way out!
