*Since the pestilence entered our lands, it has been official policy to remove any plaguebearers and place them within the secure walls of the Tower. Many have criticised this decision to leave the sufferers of the contagion to fend for themselves, and eventually die alone and unaided, but it is a small sacrifice for the benefit of our country, is it not?*

Gameplay

Should all be fairly self explanatory; the icons available are
move north / south / east / west on the left hand side of the controls
Look around / Attack / Eat / Take / Run away / Climb on the right hand side.

Things you can't currently do get greyed out and become inactive.

Known Bugs

Really went to the wire on time limits with this one, so there's some annoying bugs I didn't get to fix before my time limit was up;
* Restarting via menu button breaks things pretty badly on a second run through - if you want to play again, just refresh your browser
* sometimes all the doors in a room will open for no reason (they're only supposed to be open when you return to a room to help you navigate easier)
* some missing strings on things like "you were attacked by a "
* Lack of variety - I actually have code support for as many NPCs, rooms, decorations and chests as I want... but the time limits of a Compo entry meant I ended up only making one of each
