Manhattan Apartment Hunter
This document covers four topics:
Welcome to Manhattan! The greatest city in the
world. This is the city where you and your newly betrothed are going
to start your life together. There’s just one catch. You have to
find an apartment in Manhattan, and that’s no easy task.
Upon arrival in New York, you have to catch up with the realtor and your wife, already on the search. The apartments are everything from cozy to creepy and everything in between. Each apartment has a story to tell and truth to reveal. The further you venture into the city the more twisted you journey becomes. In the end you have to save more than a couple bucks on the rent. You must save the entire city from the biggest disaster it’s ever faced&endash;and only you can stop it!
This playable demo is only a tiny fraction of the game. While certain passages and areas are not accessible in the demo, we hope they whet your appetite for more bizarre adventures in the Big Apple.
Taken as a complete mini-adventure, The Demo is but a few paragraphs of a much grander novel. If you can solve the mysteries within this one small journey you are on your way to uncovering the most heinous crime that has ever been planned against humanity.
Good Luck and Good Gaming.
