Suspicious Cargo

## Description

In the future, humanity suffers from a deadly virus. The only antidote
functions like a drug and big corporations exploit this situation. They are
free to act without any supervision and this results in armed war between
them. The hero Jonah Hayes, small-time smuggler, has no part in this until he
gets force-employed by one of those corporations to bring a living freight, a
product of genetic engineering, to Earth.

_Suspicious Cargo_ is a text adventure with a graphical user interface. It is
not necessary to type in commands into the text field; the commands can be
constructed by clicking on the symbols of the user interface. When talking to
other people, the topic can be chosen from a list. The symbol bars can be
hidden in order to play the game as pure text adventure – the only bar which
is always shown is the systems bar. It offers the possibility to open up a
full-screen picture to illustrate some situations and a map which is used to
quickly travel inside the space ship.

The challenges faced in the game mostly deal with obstacles the hero faces on
his way to Earth, e.g, sabotage acts by competing companies. There are also
some action sequences like opening a lock or landing on a moon spliced into
the story, but those are completely optional.
