Maybe you were framed. Maybe you really did it. It doesn't matter now. The Festival Police of the Market Town has your name - and their robots and drones are looking for you.

Market Town

Market Town

 The same reforms accelerated the statute of limitations accordingly, so as long as you remain at large for a week, they can't touch you.

The goal of the game is to remain free as long as you can. The ultimate victory is to last until next Monday. Do not be discouraged if you are arrested early and often; this is a hard and unforgiving game.

The Festival Police has a list of criminals they're looking for.

Unfortunately, that list includes you.

Morning bells ring out, signalling the opening of the markets.

It is Monday.

The good news is that there is no picture on your Most Wanted poster. The bad news is that Market Town's lawbots use heuristic pattern-matching algorithms, so you may attract their suspicion for a number of reasons.

Most of your actions from this point on will increase or decrease your Attire, Appetite and Gait. If any of these qualities reach 0 or 4, you will lose the game. There will be other ways to lose the game, as well.
