Xenos

As a scientist on the Pentagon's emergency call list, you're woken at 3 AM by a panicked general pleading for your assistance. Air Force investigators are not just at their wits' end, but have lost them entirely trying to figure out what caused a bright flash and now a glow in a Southwestern canyon. The private, who is driving the jeep which finally brings you to the outskirts of Purgatory, New Mexico, doesn't offer to wait.

Xenos is a text adventure that starts you at dawn of the same day on a desert highway, pockets empty and hoofing it toward the complete unknown. With resourcefulness, logic, and a text parser that can handle a few prepositions, who knows where you may end the day?
