You are Alice Liddel, who fainted while visiting museum cellars with her friends and woke up in a strange place. The objective is to help people you meet and progress the game (especially in the beginning exchanging favors is a must).

There are two difficulty settings: easy (make 7 good deeds) and hard (find all the people you can help - there are more than 10 of them).
