The game opens on Valerie, a teenage girl of about 16 who's angry and moping because her family forced her to join them on vacation in the sleepy village of Brownsborrow. Overcome by the injustice of existence, she runs off into the forest, trips, falls and finds herself lost in a maddening maze of random locations. Things go from bad to worse when she decides to use her cell phone to find her way out, which launches an incredibly frustrating click-and-move pixel hunt to "find a better signal" - a process that must be repeated several times before the game finally moves on.
The hidden object searches are very straightforward, although a number of items are almost unfairly small, and pixel hunting will continue to feature prominently throughout the game. In one area, for instance, you'll need to cut a path through some bushes and are thus sent to a workshed to find a tool for the job. The shed, naturally, is packed with various sharp implements and since there's absolutely no indication of which one you actually need, you'll end up just dragging your cursor along the various rows of tools until it changes and you click.
