Synopsis

Plot

One hundred years have passed since Snowball arrived at the planet Eden. The population now lives inside giant domed cities, which are run - and controlled - by robots. You take the role of an anonymous citizen whose task it is to discover who is running the cities and who is behind the government conspiracy controlling people's lives.

Notes

The game was the first Level 9 title to have a political angle, and the first to use the new version of A-code, allowing a larger vocabulary, better text compression and more.

Regarding the game size, Level 9 once again upped the ante, as the game had millions of locations. As was the case with Snowball, in reality almost all of these "locations" were just colour coded dummy rooms.
