You play Abbi, who finds herself in a cellar communicating with an unseen voice through an intercom.
With the lights back on, the machine on the desk beckons. It came from Bletchley Park the voice tells you,
and it eats books. Not so much the classics, although some of them are there as well, but obscure and arcane
bits of literary detritus. The aim was to "crack the code of reality."
What you need to do (the voice says) is find the book at the heart of things before it's too late.
