Without knowing quite how or why, Brian, a student about to graduate, is attacked by gangsters from the Mafia... men that have no qualmsabout filling the Country with corpses until they get back what they believe belongs to them.The main problem is working out what the hell they're looking for and why they think that Brian has it. In the course of his desperate escape, accompanied by a mysterious striptease "dancer", he meets a whole host of unusual people. But, which of them are his friends and which are planning to blow his brains out? You will have to use all of your intelligence to work it out without ever forgetting that no-one is who they appear to be in this explosive cocktail of murder, money, ambition, religious rites and lies... a whole pile of lies.
The story allows players to interact with some of
the most incredible characters to be found in a game: a knife-throwing Mafia hit-man, a
hundred year old native American Indian, a drunken Mexican holy man, a group of
drag-queens in search of the perfect choreography. All of them with an artificial
intelligence never before seen in a game of this type.
