Synopsis
Another day, another dollar! Life is good at the moment, the property market is booming. Still, it does have its down side; when showing those Mulluer Corporation executives around that old theatre dump, err, opportunity you must have left your pager down in the basement.
Better hurry, you have to meet the others at the opera in an hour, and be careful. It wouldn't do to show up with your clothes all dirty.
Notes
Inspired by Joel Furr's 1989 piece The Ghosts of the Lyric which is included in the game itself. The Lyric Theatre is a real place.

Despite evidence of a rushed denouement this is one of the best pieces from the early days of Inform. Stylistically, it plays as a Neo Gothic/Lovecraftian hybrid with puzzles of medium difficulty; the author confesses to a particular penchant for hidden doors and secret passages. LOOK UP, LOOK DOWN and LOOK everywhere.
