he plot involved is pretty complex. There are several 'cut scenes' which help you to understand 'what the hell is going on.' First of all, you control three kids who go into a mansion to find a kidnapped girl. You must instruct the kids to do various tasks, some of which are pretty bizarre and original (the belching radioactive plant). While in the house you must maneuver around the residents, who sorta look like mutated smurfs. Sometimes they wonder around the house, but they mostly stay in their respective rooms.But anyway, they lock you up and throw away the key if they catch you sneaking around. However, you can get free easily enough. Your dealings with these residents can directly affect the game and how it ends. Regardless of what you do, besides kill your own characters, the game can be beaten. I suppose that it's possible for you to screw up royally so that you can't win, but I have yet to accomplish this feat. Back to the cut scenes. They are simply animated sequences which fill you in on the parts of the story you cannot affect. Some are pretty hilarious while others just stink (Ed getting his cheese). Overall, they are a necessary evil which you just have to deal with. If you want to learn about the endings click 'back' and check out my endings sub-page. Otherwise, that's it!
