Game Description
----------------
With amnesia it is quite possible to have a complete or partial loss of memory, but this isn't like that.  It is not that you can't remember who you are or anything about your life, you have no thoughts what-so-ever. Your mind is totally blank, as if it has been completely wiped clean. You seem to have no personality, no memories, no feelings; nothing.  It is almost as if you do not actually exist and are just an empty shell.

You are also not wearing any clothes, but far form being worried by your own nakedness you have no thoughts about it at all.  It is just part of the nothingness.

How did you arrive? You do not know.  Where did you travel from? You do not know. What do you need to achieve? You have no idea, no idea at all.

Yet more badly written interactive fiction or does it all have some meaning?
