Description from the packaging.

Homer, a biological computer. The final link to the past and the only conduit to the future. But Homer is dying and access grows weaker moment by moment. Will you discover where everyone has gone or will the doorway to humanity close forever, leaving you totally alone?

It is the distant future. The 21st Century has long since come and gone. Returning from a failed 100 year voyage to 61 Cygni, you re-enter the Earth's atmosphere to find that the world is not as you once knew it.

Where once there was teeming humanity, now there is quiet. The empty shells of mile-high skyscrapers stand at rest in the awesome silence. The Vista, nothing but forests and meadows, rivers and lakes, is beautiful but eerie, for there are no people...

Finally, you discover an on-line computer terminal that you can operate. Through it you contact Homer, the ultimate achievement of man's technology- a living computer. Together you and Homer must unravel the mystery of the vanished civilization before it's too late. If not, you face an eternity of total solitude.

Written by Rob Swigart, Produced by Brad Fregger, Programmed by Nexa Corporation.
