http://www.illuminion.de/games.html
Intense, yet relaxing rhythms play from a set of speakers on the floor, almost drowning the soft humming of the PC near the northern wall. There is also a low table with cushions strewn around it, obviously meant for playing board-games. Empty pizza boxes and cans of ice tea are scattered across the floor. This truly feels like home.

This room is completely empty. Or almost. A toy-box with a large question mark on its top sits on the floor. You open the lid. Take some time to browse Zarf's site. There is more good stuff there. This, for instance. It was Zarf's contribution to the Walkthrough Comp in 2001. A series of adventure game commands was given.
