Full Description

Nerds being what they are, highly intelligent computer geeks, have not changed the least bit in the last century. The nerds—software engineers, game designers, and coders, working for Nexus Advanced Systems Technology, Inc. (NASTI) make a discovery in the archives—The Lost Treasures of Infocom.
One game catches their attention more than the others, Starcross. They manage to get it working on an antique DOS computer, and play through it solving its many puzzles after much trial and error. After partying with copious use of weed, Molly, and LSD, they get the idea to recreate Starcross, but as a full immersion VR simulation.
Join Ariel and Jenna as they board the Starcross, and solve the mysteries aboard it. It is a do, or die simulation in which not only are their lives in jeopardy, so are the lives of the other game testers aboard the Endeavor—lame as they may be.
