Description
About This Game
A million straws. One of them is not straw
You are locked in a walled yard with a haystack the size of a building. There is one way out: a door. The door needs the needle.
Dig it out. Handful by handful.
99% will give up. Will you?
Handful by handful
Start with your bare hands. Carry the hay to the conveyor and feed the machine. The machine pays. It does not say thank you.
Spend the money in the equipment shop, where nobody is ever behind the counter. Work your way up from tongs to a hay vacuum, get a bigger backpack, upgrade the conveyor. Buy a metal detector. It points. It does not find.
No shortcuts. Nothing digs for you.
A man and his coconut
You are not alone in there. He talks to himself, to the machine and to Larry.
Larry is a coconut.
The days go by. The pile goes down. He makes less and less sense.
Don't look above the wall
Something is watching from the other side of the wall. It just watches...
