The main character is moving through an almost open 3D environment, with a simple and intuitive user interface. Luckless John progresses through a number of action scenarios and a variety of complex logical problems - and even more complicated and largely irrational ones! There's also climbing on roofs, falling down gorges, car chases, a wild tractor ride, shooting everything that moves, searching for things long forgotten, coming up with questions, finding answers, and finding one's way through mazes.
