Introduction

"The ghost of Alfred Wegener is trapped in this house, doomed to wander through it until he recovers all his plate tectonics memories. To help him find them, you must first pass all the tests and collect the missing items in your inventory. Explore the house and try not to get trapped yourself too..."
