Back of Box - DOS (US):
Yo, shake it off, Pal. Look around. You're lying face up on the cold tiles of a swanky bathroom, and just a few feet away is a dead Tooth Fairy.
You're Sam Frost - convict, virtual-reality (V") addict, cyberplumber. Rude awakening! You've just arrived at the Alexandria, Metacorp's hush-hush, posh resort where rich, famous people come to get their fix of the nation's most intense synthetic experience.
Metacorp's execs need the best cyberplumber around to find out why their visitors, who are usually rolling in cash, are now doused in embalming fluid. They found you in prison, they smuggled you here, and now you have four days and nothing but your logic, instincts, and the stuff you trip over to figure it out ... and stay alive.
Look, make no bones about it, you'll encounter an eclectic mix of oddballs at the Alexandria. On any given day, you might find people like Richie 7 (renowned sonic artist) smugly bashing in the pleasures of the "V" pod named for him - "The Richie 7 Paradox Pod"...
or the voluptuous Lana Powers sampling an overall hors o'oeuvre.
Be careful who you talk to - Jackson Standard (aka "The Weasel") has a hidden agenda ...
and Lewis Scudder (Hero of Security) is a "real sick twist," with an affection for his gun "Sparky".
