Introduction

The gaslamps are burning ...

Written using The Quill Adventure Writing System, this text adventure is set in the Victorian era and, although reasonably short, has been designed to be quite description-and-immersion rich with a few nice puzzles. There aren't so many new adventures coming along for the Electron these days and I haven't found any set in that period or of the Jack the Ripper / Sherlock Holmes ilk, so I thought I'd write my own after being inspired by the excellent BBC series Ripper Street.
