When I first saw this the title didn't sound all that exciting to me but after clicking on their banner here and reading the synopsis of the plot it sounds pretty good to me. The under $15 price tag looks pretty good too. Has anyone played this yet?
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Got it but I'm in the mood for one of Bill's games right now so I've laid it aside. I see that Becky and kjos are playing it. Is it buggy?

Well, it starts out in a padded room, and then takes you back into a memory from Edna's childhood. There's some talk of mini-golf. The rabbit is sensible and unusually intelligent -- though he'd be more useful if his teeth weren't made of terry cloth. Third person perspective. Cartoon-style graphics. A verb system a bit like the classic Lucas Arts games (look at, pick up, talk to, use), and inventory item challenges. Edna and Harvey are currently in a vent, listening to a bit of back story before (I'm assuming) trying to open a large sewer-type pipe to get out of the sanitarium. In answer to your question: Yes.

venus,Your in for quite a undertaking with this game. I'm using a WT and it's hard. I really like it. A lot of walking to do. Maybe you won't need a WT. Richard

Thanks for the info, kjos! Looking forward to it. Will see how I fare without a walkthrough.  From what I've read, it sounds like a fun game to experiment in anyway, so I may just walk around doing random things for a while.  Then I'll check the walkthrough if I have to. Have you escaped yet?? I just got an e-mail letting me know my game has shipped!

Please let us know what you think Venus. We seem to like a lot of the same games and I think this sounds like it might be fun.

Well, so far I know more than I want to about G. F. Babbitt, Senior and that's about it but have you noticed what happens when you hit F2, F3 or F4? <g>

MaG, I have the Viva Media copy and the walkthrough is on the disk. There is no paper copy. If you click on View Files when you put the disk in you'll see the walkthrough listed. It's in .pdf format. It might be accessible from the game if you leave the disk in when you play, I don't know.
