Synopsis
"You wake up with a start, turning off the alarm....you stretch and open your eyes.
You are in a large double bed, the place next to you is still warm."
Starting in your bedroom at 7:45 am, with a broken alarm clock, you must piece together what has happened and what you are supposed to do! Who was sleeping next to you? Who are you? Why is the game called 'Scoop'?

A 'quest' type where the goal is to go around as a journalist on missions from our boss, which is a reasonably original idea, but very badly implemented. Spelling errors, objects that cannot be dropped, ad hoc verbs, event bugs and bad writing abound. And the 'amnesiac character' story in the blurb does not match the gameplay at all, nor has any influence on it. Best to pass on this one.
