A series of garbled telephone messages reveal that Valkyrie 17, a hideous super-weapon developed by the Nazis, is active again. You fly out to the Hotel Blitz in Lake Bruntz, where your contact was murdered.

At the bar is a girl who would "lof a trink, dollinsk" whilst nearby the manager demands you pay your bill. Meanwhile, you receive threatening phone calls that say "The Red Kipper Flies At Midnight".

These are just some of the confusing aspects in this wonderful text/graphics adventure. Included in the package is a background dossier and metal badge. There are over 100 locations, full sentence input, and graphics are good with atmospheric descriptions.

Its best merit is the sense of humour. After leaving the dusty cupboard where the maid keeps her brooms a chambermaid appears and politely asks if you have been standing in the broom cupboard. She dusts you down and leaves. It brings a smile to the face of a jaded reviewer.

I discovered a few bugs, and my only complaint is the slightly sluggish response time. One of the best adventures this year - buy it!
