Every
silver lining has a cloud...
JUST WHEN A MAN THINKS HIS LUCK IS RUNNING OUT...
... things start getting even worse. He gets run over by a bus.
Sprayed with cheese sandwich by a supernatural being. Smashed against
a tunnel by a speeding train. He falls from two thousand feet into
an artificial waterfall. He gets drunk, drowned and cursed. He gets
incinerated, widdled on, folded,bent, spindled, mutilated and generally
mucked about with.
And in return ?
In return he gets the leading role in a perplexing, hilarious race
against time and chance, set in a jinxed land menaced by the impending
death of good fortune.
Who are we talking about? Who is holding this box?
You guessed it.
Look on the bright side. It could be your luckiest move yet. Jinxter
comes from Magnetic Scrolls, authors of international award-winning
adventures The Pawn and The Guild of Thieves. It´s more than
a collection of crossword puzzles; it´s a whole universe, where
things behave as they do in the real world... with some alarming
exceptions. Don't expect tiresome trolls, obvious orcs, silly spells and wet,
wimpish witches in JINXTER. Infuriating, enchanting, absurd and
hilarious by turns, JINXTER will surprise you with every move you
make.
But don't forget: every lining has a cloud...
