ABOUT THE STORY

  The 2016 release---version 2.0---fixes numerous bugs and useability issues and
  enhances dialog and player interaction with non-player characters.
  
  ****
  
  Dark Angel is a noir-ish, pulp fiction detective story set in the present
  time.
  
  Harry, the player character in this 3rd-person, past-tense IF story, is a San
  Francisco private detective who gets caught up in a hunt for fabeled treasure
  which takes a personal turn when members of his family are drawn into the
  action.
  
  To tell more here would spoil the mystery. Like the old movies and dime
  novels, a significant part of the fun lies in discovering what the quest is.
  
  Suffice it to say, the intrigue leads Harry to Tijuana, Mexico, where he must
  break in to a drug lord's walled compound.
